Take action for our Military Personal Need Your Help

You know we, meaning the US, can spend billions of dollars for other interest groups, countries, wars etc.., but we charge our service men and women unbelievable prices to mail them a package.

I mailed protein supplements to 3 different service men today, 3 packages cost 86.50 were if I had shipped it by FedEx maybe 25.00 would have been the total.

This is sick sorry no excuse Heck they are getting killed for all of us defending our rights we should be all writing our Representative and let them know this isn't right.

Their family can't even afford to ship them anything over there due to this ridiculous cost. Why not open it up to FedEx or UPS to ship to. The packages go to a US location were our Government ships it the rest of the way free of charge, YEA RIGHT....

If you don't know what an APO or FPO is they are military address, Iraq, Korea, Battle ships at sea, etc. were the post office has 2 to 3 central locations all the APO's go to one in California and New York, Maybe one in Florida but they are all in the US.

This charge is to get them to this location and that is all 86.00 to ship 3 boxes to New York is crazy. This is priority mail Oh yea you can ship the cheaper way it only takes 3-6 WEEKS to get there, by that time they may be discharged.

Crazy Please Help our Service Men an Women write to your rep complain about this get enough going and we may get something changed.

I might run for political office myself get in bed with the snakes so to speak to get some kind of action started on this.

This is really serious if you had a husband overthere and you had to live on his military salary well you might be able to mail him a letter but sending a package would break the bank.

Help them please support them by taking action.
Thanks and God Bless

My letter to My Arkansas Rep Mike Ross Arkansas U.S. House of Representatives

I am a web site owner www.keysupplements.com and I ship allot of products to our service men an women to APO's FPO's.

I am really concerned at the cost they have to pay to go through our postal system. Just today I shipped 3 packages to servicemen in Iraq, cost was 86.00. This shipped by FedEx might have cost 25.00.

What are we doing here it is crazy they have to pay such an amount to get a package shipped to one of the shipping locations within the lower 48. The packages are then picked up by the Government and shipped to the military bases supposedly free of charge.

This is not right they need a break I am requesting you to start legislation to purpose a reduced cost or fixed cost to our service men and women.Just plain not right they are getting killed for us and we are gouging them here at home to send them some goods.

I usually lose on the shipping as it makes me sick at the cost of shipping to them. I am a disabled marine myself.

Help them please this is not right.God BlessJoe Mullinax
