Dear Friend,

I wanted to make sure you saw this important message that Rich sent yesterday. There’s a new development in the Postal Service crisis.

The Head of the USPS Board of Governors -- which could stop the Postmaster General’s plot to undermine the Post Office -- is also in charge of Senator Mitch McConnell’s super PAC.

Please sign our petition to demand more funding for the Post Office.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. President Trump recently admitted that if the Postal Service doesn’t have enough funding it may not be able to respond to the election fully -- and that’s okay with him.

Plus, millions of seniors and veterans rely on the Post Office to get essential goods like medicine and Social Security checks.

Mitch McConnell has held up funding for USPS for more than 100 days. Enough is enough.

Click here to sign our petition and stop the Trump administration's gutting of the Post Office.

Thanks for all you do,

Subject: BREAKING: McConnell Super PAC Director is the USPS Board Head

Dear Friend,

We’ve written to you about the crisis at the Postal Service before.

There’s a new twist. The Head of the USPS Board of Governors is in charge of Senator Mitch McConnell’s own super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund! That explains a lot.

Last month President Trump admitted that if the Postal Service isn’t fully funded it may not be able to fulfill its role in the 2020 election -- which is fine with him. But even more than the election is at stake.

Millions of Americans, particularly seniors and veterans, get their prescription drugs or Social Security checks through the mail. Plus, the demand for vote by mail will increase substantially during November because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sign our petition to demand an end to the mail slowdown and more funding for the Post Office.

We have to stop President Trump and Mitch McConnell from gutting the Post Office. McConnell has held up emergency funding for the Postal Service for more than 100 days!

Across the country there are widespread mail delays, sorting machines have been dismantled, and carriers have been told to leave mail behind.

Please help us save the Post Office, before it’s too late.

Please click here to sign our petition.

Thanks for all you do.

Sincerely,

Richard Fiesta
