Dear Friend,
Do President Trump and the Postmaster General think we are fools?
Yesterday Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced he would ‘hold off’ on the changes until after the election and many breathed a sigh of relief that the packages and mail they rely on would again arrive on time.
Today he said he would NOT return the mailboxes back to their locations, NOT re-install the dozens of high-speed sorting machines that have been removed, and NOT allow overtime to ensure mail is delivered on time.
We need to deliver 18,000 more signatures to Congress this week -- and make sure they get these dangerous policies reversed when the Postmaster General testifies next week.
Will you add your name?
Louis DeJoy does not care that millions of seniors and veterans rely on the Post Office to deliver life-saving prescription drugs and other important mail.
We will not be fooled. Help us tell Congress to hold him accountable and save the Post Office. Add your name now!
Sincerely,
Richard Fiesta

Subject: They Actually Removed Mailboxes
Dear Friend,
Across the country, postal workers are sounding the alarm about the Post Office’s future. President Trump’s new postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, has gone from using “cost-cutting” measures to slow down the mail to a full-on dismantling of the U.S. Postal Service.
Millions of Americans, particularly seniors and veterans, get important goods and services like prescription drugs and Social Security checks through the mail. Plus, the demand for vote by mail will increase substantially during November because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s difficult to believe that there could be a world without the Post Office. But that could actually become reality if we don’t do something.
The Postmaster General has begun to feel the heat -- but we need to keep up the pressure and watch him and the Trump Administration like a hawk.
Let’s stay in this fight. Congress needs to fight to make sure the Post Office is strong today, tomorrow and for decades to come.
Sincerely,
Richard Fiesta
