US postal workers in Washington on week-long hunger strike. (VIDEO)

The US Government lies to Americans and says the Post Office is broke.  Congressmen want to privatize the PO and turn it over to UPS, FEDEX and HALLIBURTON.







Six days starving to save six-day delivery. That's the message of a group of former and current postal workers who went on an emergency hunger strike on the National Mall as well as walking through the halls of Congress and to the White House.

This is the second such strike to take place in Washington over the past year.

Talks to reduce the size of the postal service have been taking place in Washington for financial reasons. The USPS has lost billions of dollars in recent years and in the age of email and private mailing services, concern about its survival abound.
