Ending Subsidies for Political Mail: Higher Postage Rates for Campaigns
This bill eliminates the reduced postage rates currently available to qualified political committees for sending campaign materials. This change means political parties and candidates must pay standard postal fees for their mailings. The goal is to reduce the volume of political "junk mail" received by citizens and stop using taxpayer money to subsidize these mailings.
Key points
Eliminates the special, discounted postage rates for political committees.
Increases the cost of mailing campaign materials for parties and candidates.
