Political Wire Just when we thought President Trump couldn't go any lower, he admits that he will not properly fund the United States Postal Service so that people are not able to vote by mail. But Trump's attacks on the USPS go well beyond corrupting our democracy. Postal Service delays will hurt millions of Americans who count on medication, paychecks, veteran's benefits, letters from family serving overseas, and more to be delivered on time. For rural residents and Alaska Natives, who often lack other connectivity resources like broadband, the USPS is more than a service -- it's a lifeline. Since the pandemic began, I have repeatedly called on Dan Sullivan to stand up to Donald Trump and save the Postal Service -- and to date, he's done nothing. Today, I am calling on Dan Sullivan to finally show some courage -- to stand up for once against his party bosses and do what's right for Alaska and our county. Add your name and demand that Dan Sullivan tell Mitch McConnell to bring the Senate back from recess and immediately get to work on legislation to protect the United States Postal Service. During this pandemic, the Postal Service is even more important. It's the only way some small businesses can reach customers. It's the only way some families can get essentials -- like food, medicine, and household supplies. And with the November elections around the corner, voting by mail is the best way to vote safely and securely. Trump's new postmaster general has already removed postal boxes from local communities and ordered mail centers to turn off sorting machines. And Trump himself is now on record, admitting that he's trying to sabotage mail voting. Dan Sullivan has proven that he isn't willing to stand up for Alaska and do his job -- but I am. Add your name and call on the Senate to immediately return from recess and get to work on legislation to #SaveTheUSPS. Thank you, Dr. Al Gross
