WHICH REP. SAYS NIXING SATURDAY MAIL DELIVERY WILL HURT MINORITIES AND SINGLE MOTHERS?

After the United States Postal Service announced that it intends to stop delivering mail on Saturdays in an effort to cut costs beginning this August, many praised it as a relatively straightforward way to save roughly $2 billion a year.

Some lamented the inconvenience of the change and others were alarmed at what that means for post office employees. Not many, though, tied the matter to race or gender.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was apparently one of them.

I don't understand this. The postal employees being "laid off" are being paid big bonuses to retire early and draw from their retirement fund (that actually isn't there). How does this affect the race and gender?? It just adds to the government expense. When you watch the right hand, the left hand is doing something sneaky. smoke and mirrors...

Joe when are you going to attack yourself about the attack article in the Rag from Jeremy Cox. He accused you of being racist while he was saying nothing but nice things about Ireton. It's time to expose Ireton for the Mojo's incident.

8:29. I think Joe won't address the so called Mojo's incident because there was no police report or charges brought. Joe can run for mayor on his own merits.

A "negative" campaign is not the style of a winner....

There doesn't have to be a police report. It happened and there were numerous witnesses.

Are you that naïve that you don't understand that the liberal media wins elections based on misleading information! That slanted article in the rag portrays Mayoral Candidate as a racist. Now everyone that reads that article is going to think their mayoral candidate is a racist. The reason McCain lost to Obama is because he didn't fight back and defend himself. The reason Romney lost to Obama is because he didn't fight back and defend himself. They both thought they could beat Obama on their own Merits. Obama won. In Joe's article Ireton is quoted as saying the city of Salisbury is 44% minority. That is the same 47% referred to in Romney's ill fated election bid. Do you get the point yet!

Then how did Obama win the last 2 presidential elections. It may not be the "style of a winner," your style of a winner doesn't win elections.

10:18 My statement about ethics has nothing to do with Joe not fighting back. Joe will fight back by exposing the true facts. I don't think he will lower himself to address accusations. Joe is more professional than that. I do understand your point of view, and understand it is getting more and more difficult run for political office without mud slinging. Slinging mud just to see where it sticks isn't a good idea. It may also slide of, but you still threw it.

Cummings. The man is an imbecile and a racist.
Socialist party members should be purged from public office in America.
It is treasonous for him to hold any position of authority.

Just minorities really? He is being racist.

11:06 am I agree with you however you should explain your point. Elections are getting nastier and nastier and the ones that sling the most one wins. The least one could do is fight back and prove them wrong. Once the media prints something it is gospel and the weak minded believe it. Unfortunately the weak minded are allowed to vote.

11:55 you are correct. And, we should expose the MSM and their bias reporting. I'm retired but still very active, out and about. When I discuss articles in the daily paper with friends and relatives, most of them will say "I don't believe half of what they print anyway". I believe there are still intelligent voters that still care about our local Government and can see thru the smoke and mirrors of the local paper.

12:48 if they didn't believe it then they wouldn't read it. Some of them are telling you that so you don't think they are complete idiots. Most that read the Lame Stream Media are very gullible therefor vote for the wrong person for the wrong reason.

Ob' did not "win" the election, he stole it with bribes and skulduggery, and the ones who voted for him will pay for it along with the rest of us...

Personally they can limit delivery to just three days a week. Don't know why it took them so long to cut out Saturday deliveries.

Most of the world now uses email and the internet to order merchandise and pay the bills.

There is competition now from UPS, and FedEx. The USPS employes mostly blacks, so I guess they will scream racism if they cut delivery! Welcome to the modern world where everyone has to complete on ability! Change or die!

UPS sucks. 50% of the time I used them to deliver something over 50 lbs, the box was torn up and the equipment damaged. I have changed to FedEx with no problems.
