Dear John,

White House sources recently briefed the media that they were planning an illegal power grab of our public Postal Service.

Such a power grab could allow them to put into action our greatest fear. Stripping our services and selling off our USPS.

We can’t allow this to happen! Will you send a message to decision-makers through our public campaign – U.S. Mail Not for Sale!?

The President has already floated the idea of a corporate take-over of the mail.

Big banks are already drawing up plans for a fire-sale of the most profitable parts of our postal network, raising shipping costs for the public, and leaving taxpayers on the hook to fund the rest.

Do we want to see mass Post Office closures? Do we want more delivery slowdowns? Do we want the heart ripped out of rural communities? Communities across America?

Of course we don’t!

This is going to be a long fight, but it’s one we can win. The first step is to stand up and be counted. Will you send a message? Tell your members of congress that the U.S. Mail is not for sale!

Let’s save our public Postal Service together,

The American Postal Workers Union
