The United States Postal Service is in trouble,
John.
Congress has approved a $10 billion emergency loan to keep the Post Office
afloat -- but Donald Trump is holding the loan hostage to attempt a
hostile takeover of USPS operations.
Trump even appointed his former campaign fundraiser the USPS’s new
Postmaster General to carry out his hostile takeover from the inside.
Now, the letter carriers union is sounding the alarm. According to new
projections, the USPS will run out of money at the end of September
without additional funding -- that’s just weeks before the general
election. An election that will need to be conducted, in large part, by
mail.

sabotaging the 2020 election in the process. Add your name if you agree
that Congress must pass new emergency legislation with mandatory funding
to save the Postal Service now >>

The United States Postal Service is an essential part of American society.
We’re dependent on mail carriers for medicine, supplies, and the ability
to safely exercise our constitutional right to vote.
If Trump gets his way, he’ll dismantle the Postal Service to boost private
profits and sabotage our ability to conduct a free and fair election this
fall.
This isn’t just conjecture. Trump himself has said he’s opposed to
vote-by-mail because “for whatever reason, it doesn’t work out well for
Republicans.” He knows that if everyone has the opportunity to safely cast
their ballot this year, he will lose.

Congress to pass emergency legislation fully funding the USPS right now >>

Thanks for all you do. Together, we’re going to defeat Donald Trump and
elect progressives up and down the ticket. But it’s going to take all of
us.
