Did you see this, John? I want to make sure you had a chance to sign this petition to save the U.S. Postal Service from dire financial trouble.

For so many people in New Mexico, USPS is the lifeline that connects them to the world, especially for rural communities across the state. If we don't act now, we could lose rural routes that aren't profitable for private companies - meanwhile, prices could increase for everyone. That's why I'm asking another 200 people to add their signatures to this petition calling for emergency federal funding for the USPS before midnight.

In this time of need, more and more New Mexicans are turning to the mail for everything from prescription drugs to absentee ballots. We cannot afford to lose the essential services the USPS provides. So please, add your name next to mine right now: Click here to sign the urgent petition to save the U.S. Postal Service!

Hoping you and your family are staying safe,

John,

I want to take a moment to share an important issue that will have huge repercussions for New Mexico: the future of the U.S. Postal Service. Right now, the USPS is in serious financial trouble, and without an influx in federal funding it could run out of money by the end of September.

I know lots of families across our state have been relying on the USPS to get the supplies they need during these extraordinarily difficult times. The work that USPS does is truly essential: Just last year, the USPS delivered $1.2 billion in prescription drugs. About 1 in 5 Americans pay their bills by mail.

For so many New Mexicans, the USPS is a lifeline - especially for rural communities. Postal service workers trek rural routes - where profits are low but need is high - that private delivery companies skip. Without financial help, the USPS could cut service for rural communities, and costs for everyone could increase.

That's why I've added my name to this petition calling for federal funding to save the USPS, and I hope you'll add yours, too. I'm asking 500 people to join before midnight tonight: Click here to sign the petition to save the U.S. Postal Service!

This will mean so much for rural communities in New Mexico and families across the state. Thank you so much for your support right now.

Wishing you all the best during these challenging times.
