Court Modifies Judgment Against Postal Service Prohibiting Proselytizing

A Connecticut federal district court has granted a motion by the U.S. Postal Service to amend a declaratory judgment and injunction issued in April prohibiting contract postal units from posting displays that involve religious proselytizing. (See prior posting.) In Cooper v. United States Postal Service, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65507 (D CT, Aug. 28, 2007), the court limited its ruling to the contract postal unit operated by Sincerely Yours, Inc. (SYI), eliminating broader language applying to all other contract postal units as well. It also modified its injunction to more specifically indicate the proselytizing activities of SYI that are to be prohibited.
