U.S. Postal Service v. Council of Greenburgh, 453 U.S. 114 (1981)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suppose you want to designate the mailbox you've paid for (that is, your private property) to act as a receptacle to receive messages from a group. Can you? No.
In this case, the Court holds constitutional 18 U.S.C. ?§1725 which provides: ''Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined not more than $300.''
Congress passed a law in 1934 to restrict access to mailboxes (18 U.S.C. 1725). This law prohibits anyone from intentionally placing mailable matter without any postage into any mailbox.

illegal use of mailbox.........

I thought we all agreed that the sign posting applied only to permanent signs. If that is not the case, there should not be any ''yard sale'' signs, Happy Birthday, New Baby, Happy Halloween, Happy Holidays, ADT signs. I herby feel discriminated against, there several ADT signs that were left behind. Section 19 says ''No sign for advertising....'' If this is not a blatent violation, I don't know what is. If asked, I would have taken my own sign down. I did not need someone going onto my property and stealing my sign. A meeting about this would have been nice. We could define ''sign'' and hey........ EVEN TOOK A VOTE....WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!!!
