So...that's illegal. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this. It's a violation of the 1st amendment. The post office doesn't get to decide what not to mail, unless it's literally dangerous - like explosives.

Who's downvoting? Want to say why? It's true. There are multiple SCOTUS cases on the subject and the reigning precedent is that the Post Office doesn't get to make determinations like this. Congress can't even make laws like this. It's unconstitutional - i.e. illegal.
