John, I wanted to make sure you saw this campaign.
We've joined with a dozen progressive partners including Demand Progress
and Daily Kos Action to turn up the pressure on President Biden to save
the United States Post Office from Trump appointed Postmaster General
Louis DeJoy and Board of Governors Chairman Ron Bloom.
Our goal is 100,000 signers before we deliver next week and we're half
way there. At the time I'm writing this message to you, we're at 45,313
signers to be exact.
[ [link removed] ]Get us to the goal before the deadline. Please sign the petition now!

I included my email from last week below, since there's a lot more info
if you need it before you sign. But here's the bottom-line:
* To save the USPS, Postmaster General DeJoy must be fired
* Only the Board of Governors can fire Dejoy
* So far Chairman Bloom has failed to act
* President Biden can fire and replace Chairman Bloom with a leader
committed to firing DeJoy to save the USPS before it's too late.
The Postal Service is depending on us. Let's get this done. Thank you
for taking action today.

John,
For months now, you and I have been working hard to save the United States
Post Office from Trump-appointed Postmaster General, and Republican mega
donor, Louis DeJoy. The bottom line is Louis DeJoy must be fired.
Here’s the thing: the Postal Board of Governors is the boss of the
Postmaster General. They hire and fire the postmaster, review all
practices of the post office, and oversee policies for the postal
service.
That’s good too because after filling three vacant seats on the Board
already, President Biden only needs to take one more step to make sure
Democrats who want to improve the post office control the Board.
President Biden must fire Ron Bloom from the Board of Governors and
replace him with a leader willing to fire Louis DeJoy.
[ [link removed] ]We’ve joined a large coalition of House and Senate Democrats and
progressive organizations and leaders working to keep up pressure on
President Biden to act. We need at least 100,000 grassroots signers before
the deadline of July 2nd. We’re over 30,000 already, can you add your name
now to help us hit our goal?

Donald Trump appointed Ron Bloom to the Board of Governors because he knew
Ron would do whatever he could to help Republicans destroy the Postal
Service.
Let’s be clear: that IS the Republican goal.
Republicans have been working for decades to kill the USPS, so for-profit
businesses like Fed Ex, UPS, and others can take over delivery nationwide.
It’s not a coincidence that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy owns at least a
$30 million stake in a USPS contractor and as much as $100,000 in Amazon
stock options. That’s likely why he was appointed by the Republican
controlled Board in the first place.
Ron Bloom also worked for the investment banking firm Lazard on two
occasions, the second as Vice Chairman, U.S Investment Banking. Now, Bloom
is still the vice chair and a managing partner of Brookfield Asset
Management.
[ [link removed] ]These conflicts of interest aren’t a mistake and undoubtedly are why
the Board of Governor, led by Ron Bloom, hasn’t moved to fire Louis DeJoy
yet. That’s why we can’t let up on the pressure. That’s why instead we
have to escalate the pressure to make sure Biden gets the job done. Please
add your name now >>

President Biden can save the USPS. The next step is to fire Ron Bloom from
the Board of Governors and finally put Democrats in control who will fire
Louis DeJoy before it’s too late.
Thank you for taking action today.
