Respect for Marriage Act This legislation is essential to securing marriage equality for same-gender couples, as well as the marriages of individuals of different races, ethnicities or national origin. The bill would enshrine into law the diversity and inclusivity of the US. Marriages, whether same-gender or interracial, or of people of different ethnicities and nationalities, would be protected under federal law, and states would be required to recognize them. The bill ensures that people who enter into same-gender marriages and marriages of different races, ethnicities and national origin have the certainty of equal treatment under the law and the dignity afforded other married couples regardless of where they live. |

Postal Service Reform Act This bill would bring financial stability to the Postal Service. First, it eliminates the mandate that the Postal Service pre-fund its retiree health care benefits decades in advance, a requirement asked of no other public or private agency. Second, it adopts private sector best practices by maximizing the integration of postal annuitants into Medicare – a program to which the Postal Service and its workers have contributed over $34 billion. Additionally, the legislation benefits the public by codifying the mandate to provide six-day mail delivery. |
