“Yes.  I think the post office is a very important component. They already have a system set up where we can receive the mail which is important for underserved communities.”

“Absolutely. Their service is crucial to our functionality. It’s a part of the fabric of this country. They help movement in this country and it’s our mainline of communication.”

“Of course they should. We have the best postal carrier in the business in this area. I just can’t imagine a world without the post office. … To me that’s a no-brainer.”

Arais Williams

“Yes. I think the postal service is essential for delivering packages for a very cheap rate. It allows people to communicate. It’s cheaper than Fed-Ex and the others.”
