Mail Call Montana Initiative
"I’ll continue to fight to ensure that the voices of Montanans are the first ones heard in Washington." - Denny Rehberg
As you may have heard, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has proposed closing over 90 post offices in Montana in an attempt to address their financial challenges.
I wanted to take this opportunity to get your thoughts and to share with you some of mine. I’m concerned about how the closure of so many local offices will affect Montanans who depend on their services every day for personal and business purposes. While I appreciate the Postal Services’ attempt to reduce costs and the challenges it faces, I want to make sure they recognize how each of Montana’s post offices and employees serve as vital link for folks across the state. Montanans are willing to be part of the solution, but any changes in the system should not mean one day of decreased mail delivery services.
One of the alternatives the Postal Service has proposed is something they have termed the “Village Post Office.” In some locations where a post office has been closed, other local businesses would offer some frequently-used postal services and products.
This is why I want to hear from you. Maybe you depend on the local post office to receive your medication, or to send products around the world for your local business. How will the closure of your local office affect you? Will not having your local office affect your ability to receive your mail and packages in the middle of a Montana winter? Would you be satisfied with the alternative “village post office” concept the Postal Service has proposed?
I’ve told the Postal Service time and time again that they need to listen to Montanans who have thoughts about the proposed closures before making any sudden decisions to close the offices that people depend on every day. The Postal Service should not expect to balance their books on the backs of rural America.
Please take a few minutes to write down your thoughts and send them to me from your local post office. I’ll collect the comments from all across Montana to deliver to the Postal Service.

Thanks for your time on this issue. I’ll continue to fight to ensure that the voices of Montanans are the first ones heard in Washington.
