John,

Late Friday, the Washington Post broke the news that Postmaster General
Louis DeJoy is preparing to put all first-class mail onto a single
delivery track that would result in massive price increases and slow down
mail delivery.

That’s right, the head of the USPS, a Trump Republican mega-donor
appointed by a Trump-dominated Board of Governors, wants to make changes
to services that will increase delivery times for people relying on
prescription medication, credit card bills, and mortgage payments to
arrive on time.

We need to fix the Postal Service, not make it worse. That starts by
firing Louis DeJoy and replacing him with someone who will run this agency
at full capacity, as a diminished Postal Service could lead to major
disenfranchisement among rural communities.

[ [link removed] ]Here’s how it can happen: President Biden can start by filling the four
empty seats on the board of governors, taking control from Trump-appointed
cronies, and demand that they replace DeJoy with a Postmaster who will
save the USPS instead of trying to kill it.

The future of the Post Office is at stake.

Even before these changes, the Postal Service was forced to admit in a
Federal Court that 38% of the mail these new rules would impact were
already missing the 2-day delivery deadline for local first class mail by
the end of 2020.

But that was the point wasn’t it? We know Trump wanted Louis DeJoy to
delay mail from day one.

Trump believed if he could slow down mail-in ballots, it might delay
enough Biden votes from arriving in time to be counted before election
deadlines. DeJoy, who also has financial interests in companies that have
business ties with the Postal Service, tried to decommission mailboxes and
mail-sorting machines across the country.

It could’ve worked, if Congress hadn’t stepped in to stop DeJoy and forced
him to bring most sorting machines back online.

Now, we need President Biden to take action and stop this threat once and
for all.

[ [link removed] ]Only the President can appoint members to the Postal Service’s board of
governors and only the board of governors can fire Louis DeJoy. Join me in
fighting to save the Post Office before it’s too late.

President Biden has already done a lot to turn the country around and
reverse some of the worst policies and executive actions of Donald Trump.

Let’s encourage him to continue.

Thank you for doing everything you can to save the USPS.

Stay safe,
