+<h3>Background</h3>

The United States Postal Service has submitted a rule to Congress
proposing that all Commercial Mail Recieving Agencies (CMRAs) must,

The USPS proposal was intended to help cut down on mail fraud, a
practice that costs consumers millions of dollars every year.
However, experts state that the Postal Service's proposal will not

Congressman Ron Paul has introduced House Joint Resolution 55, which
would effectively revoke the Postal Service's new regulations
regarding CMRAs, but the resolution needs your support in order to
