To: US Postal Service, Senator Richard G. Lugar, Senator Dan Coats, Peter J. Visclosky, All Elected State, County and City Officials and Civic Leaders in the communities of Northwest Indiana that would be afflicted by the Proposed AMP.
From: Concerned Postal Customers and Postal Employees
We, the undersigned residents of the communities in Northwest Indiana are adamantly opposed to the US Postal Service moving any mail processing operations out of the Processing and Distribution Center located in Gary, IN. to the SouthBend, IN. Facility or any other processing center.
We are opposed to this for many reasons including:
*Loss of our current overnight delivery standard to the surrounding communities
*Loss of our Gary postmark identity
*Loss of jobs to the City of Gary and surrounding communities and resulting negative impact upon the city, its residents and businesses
Therefore, we call upon you to ensure every possible effort is made now to prevent the local mail processing operations from being moved out of the Gary IN Processing and Distribution Facility.
My family has lived in Hammond for 40 years and we rely on our post office. It is the only way some of the older folks in our neighborhood get their meds. Leave it alone.
