Hello,
Trump recently installed top Republican donor Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General.
DeJoy has implemented drastic changes to the agency, including ending overtime and delaying mail delivery.
Mark Dimondstein, head of the American Postal Workers Union, believes these moves are the first step in the Trump administration’s push to privatize the agency.
Worse yet, delayed service now puts mail-in voting -- and the 2020 election -- at risk of interference by the Trump administration.
House Democrats and voting rights experts have sounded the alarm, warning that delays would severely hamper the ability to use mail-in voting for the 2020 election.
Election experts fear that hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of ballots could be tossed for being late this fall -- which could make a big difference in a close election and give Trump another narrow victory.
The unqualified DeJoy, the first Postmaster General in two decades to not have worked for USPS, is now in control of this vital public service -- right before an election that will rely heavily on the agency. It’s probably no coincidence President Trump is vocal about his hatred of mail-in voting and makes false claims about its legality and safety.
We need to stand up to this attack on the democratic process. But to do that, we need your input NOW. We cannot mobilize voters to oust Trump, and take back the USPS from GOP control, without knowing your thoughts on this critical issue. Join us TODAY in the fight to save our democracy:
