John,
Ever since Trump mega-donor Louis DeJoy was installed as Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service, he’s done everything in his power to destroy it.
From decommissioning mailboxes and mail-sorting machines across the country prior to the election to slowing USPS delivery times to a crawl, DeJoy must be held accountable for his unethical and potentially criminal activity.
There is no question about it, Louis DeJoy must be fired.
While President Biden does not have the power to directly fire Louis DeJoy, the President is not powerless.
President Biden can call on the Board of Governors to fire DeJoy and if they refuse to act, he can replace the Board of Governors with new leaders that will meet their responsibility to represent the public’s interest by removing Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General immediately.

For decades, the Republican party has sought to destroy the USPS. They want to see it privatized so corporate America, for-profit companies like Fed Ex and UPS, can charge higher prices, pay workers less, and rake in billions of dollars in profits.
Republicans don’t care if prices go up or service goes down, as long as profits go up.
Now Republicans have a new reason to kill the Post Office: Voting.
That’s why Trump had Dejoy appointed in the first place. He knew Louis DeJoy would do everything in his power to delay ballots and try to stop voting by mail by any means necessary. And that’s exactly what DeJoy attempted to do.
We may never know exactly how much damage DeJoy did, but we can stop him from doing it again.

Thank you for working to Save our Postal Service, together we will succeed.
