Don't Just Stand There

| DO SOMETHING! |
We cannot sit idly by and let the United States Postal Service take away our Post Office.
Everyone living on the Pasco County side of Aripeka has an interest in keeping the Aripeka Post Office in Aripeka. We depend on this Post Office to receive our mail, since the United States Postal Service does not deliver mail to our homes.

Postal Facts 2013
Both literally and figuratively, the United States Postal Service delivers for America.
Even in an increasingly digital world, the Postal Service remains part of the bedrock infrastructure of this nation’s economy, serving its people and businesses and binding the nation together.
The core function of the Postal Service is the safe, reliable, affordable delivery of mail and packages to every address in the country and its territories.
The Postal Service delivers more mail to more addresses in a larger geographical area than any other post in the world.
The timely service provided daily depends on an astonishing network of facilities, technology and people that collect, transport, process and deliver the nation’s mail.
Apparently EVERY ADDRESS in the country does not include Aripeka!
Talk of Cluster Boxes is everywhere!

But not being discussed for those living in Aripeka!
How far should a recipient of US Mail have to travel to pick up a letter or package addressed to Zip Code 34679?
7 Miles one way is TOO far! If the only need for a Post Office in Aripeka was to buy a stamp or mail a package, maybe 7 Miles is reasonable, but to PICK-UP mail from a Post Office Box because the United States Postal Service does not provide mail delivery to our street address, 7 Miles is way out of line!
We all have heard how the Post Office is going broke, but when it was suggested that Saturday Mail delivery be eliminated, those who receive mail delivered to their home or business protested that it was not fair, but here in Aripeka, where there is NO mail delivery to our street addresses on Saturday or any other day of the week, it seems the Postal Service thinks those affected by the closing of the Aripeka Post Office should not be complaining.
While home delivery would be the best solution for Aripeka, it is a known fact that the Postal Service is trying their best to eliminate home delivery

We in Aripeka affected by the closing of the Aripeka Post Office would be perfectly happy with a Cluster Box located within our community.
WFLA Channel 8, the NBC affiliate serving our area will be at Aripeka West on Tuesday Morning August 20th at 9:30 AM to do an "8 on Your Side" segment for the news. Please be pro-active and attend this event!
