I signed this petition tonight. It might not mean anything to the people on the Hill making these decisions, but it seems a good idea to support the preservation and expansion of the service.
Yes, we have the internet and we have private couriers. But they don't serve all our communications needs, nor should they be expected to. The post office serves a useful niche for many of us even now, and it's good to keep our options as a nation open.
So I signed that petition.
What I wrote: "Because people who have the service still need it, and those who don't have the service want it as well."
Not eloquent, but that's what was in mind at the time.
