Donahoe Told:

Oh no, You didn't!!!

Twenty-four United States Senators are telling Postmaster General Donahoe that HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER to eliminate six-day delivery. In a leeter sent to Donahoe on February 15, they maintain he needs congressional approval before 5-day can be implemented.

The senators, led by New Mexico's Tom Udall (D) urged the PMG to work with them to address the financial problems through legislative reform. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was one of the letter signees. 

It is feared going to 5-day delivery would further decrease mail volume and revenues.  It is also estimated that this change would impact 70,000 jobs.

So far, Mr. Donahoe has not responded publically to the letter.
