Bill > SJR12

This joint resolution, originating from the Legislature of Alabama, celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service, acknowledging its founding on July 26, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress to facilitate communication during the American Revolution. The resolution highlights the postal service's constitutional basis, its growth from a few post offices to over 30,000 locations, and its enduring significance in American history, commerce, and national unity. It recognizes the postal service as an independent federal establishment since 1971, providing universal access to its delivery network and serving as vital infrastructure by delivering mail and packages six days a week to millions of delivery points. The resolution honors past and present postal employees and invites the people of Alabama to join in the celebration by writing letters, buying stamps, or acknowledging postal workers.
