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.
