John, you may have missed this bombshell report over the weekend:

According to The Washington Post, Donald Trump’s new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy fueled his rise in Republican politics by pressuring his company’s employees to donate to Republicans, and then illegally reimbursing them with bonus payments.

This kind of “straw-donor scheme” is a felony. DeJoy must resign from the United States Postal Service immediately, but he won’t do it unless there is an outcry nationwide demanding it.

Add your name and call on Democrats in Congress to demand DeJoy’s immediate resignation from the USPS. We can’t have a criminal Republican mega-donor in charge of this essential institution >>

In the months since Trump tapped his own mega-donor to run the Post Office, it’s clear DeJoy has had one mission: run it into the ground.

Under his watch, the USPS has slowed delivery times to a crawl, slashed overtime hours for mail carriers, and removed mailboxes and mail-sorting machines from battleground states across the country.

Yet, DeJoy had planned to do much more until the public outcry was so intense that even Trump turned on him -- and DeJoy had to stop in his tracks.

We’re still working to undo the damage DeJoy already did, but now with the revelation that he ran an illegal “straw-donor scheme” for years, it’s clear there’s no other way to protect the rule of law and this essential institution than to force him to resign.

If we don’t, DeJoy will continue to break the law and run the USPS into the ground to sabotage the election for Trump’s political gain.

DeJoy must resign his position as Postmaster General immediately. If you agree, sign our petition calling on Democrats in Congress to force his resignation >>

Millions of Americans are counting on the USPS to deliver prescription medications, essential information, and mail-in ballots in the middle of the worst pandemic in a century. We can’t take any chances here.

Through his actions as Postmaster General over the last few months and this new revelation of criminal behavior from The Washington Post, it’s clear we can’t allow DeJoy to run the Postal Service any longer.

Congress can’t let DeJoy play games with this essential institution.
