John,

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the news: Donald Trump is
escalating his attacks on the US Postal Service — from
withholding necessary funding and laying off employees, to
removing mail sorters from post office locations and ordering
workers to slow down the mail.

Reading these headlines not only angered me at this
deliberate attempt to interfere with our elections — it saddened
me, for the USPS holds a special place in my heart.

One of my first jobs as a student at Clark University was
working in an Atlanta post office. My stepfather was a career
postal worker — he worked his way up the ranks, dutifully and
diligently getting mail out for over 40 years. He’d be rolling in
his grave if he heard the way our President disparaged the agency
and its workforce.

Donald Trump has decided to put his own personal welfare
over the basic needs of millions of Americans — going so far as
to reject a COVID relief stimulus package because it included
funding for the USPS. People rely on the USPS to get medication,
Social Security checks, and during the pandemic, even to simply
communicate with loved ones. But in a politically motivated
effort to stunt voter turnout, Trump is sacrificing the Postal
Service to secure his reelection.

I can’t help but sympathize with the dispirited workers
who have been working especially hard these past few months to
deliver such a high volume of mail to people in need. Trump’s
orders to slow down mail down and not process ballots goes
against the very ethos of the Postal Service.

We will need to rely on the USPS this November if we want
any hope of holding a free and fair election, and that’s why it
is critical we speak out against these attacks. Congress must do
its job to fund and protect this agency. Will you join me in
demanding that they save the USPS?

TELL CONGRESS: SAVE THE USPS

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays
these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed
rounds,” — a testament to America’s postal workers; honorable and
dedicated citizens like my stepfather; the men and women who will
help us facilitate an election amidst this generation’s worst
public health crisis. We must stand with them amidst these
attacks.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s commitment to defer
changes to the postal service until after the election is not
enough — that’s why the House returned to Washington to pass The
Delivering For America Act, which forces the Postmaster to
restore postal operations to where they were on January 1, 2020.
Donald Trump has made his malice toward the post office clear,
and we can’t let up the fight. Sign our petition to protect the
USPS now. ( [link removed] )

Thank you,

— Hank
