The U.S. Postal Service plays a vital role in our nation's infrastructure, providing essential services to communities across the country. However, the proposed 10-year plan by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy raises significant concerns about the future of this vital institution. The plan's consolidation of mail sorting and delivery into regional centers threatens the existence of smaller post offices, potentially leading to closures or reduced hours. This lack of transparency and resistance to public input is deeply troubling. The Postal Service is a constitutionally mandated service that must serve all Americans equally, regardless of location or socioeconomic status. Consolidation risks leaving many rural and low-income communities without reasonable access to postal services, exacerbating existing inequalities. Furthermore, the plan's details remain shrouded in secrecy, preventing meaningful public discourse and oversight. I urge you to demand greater transparency from the Postal Service and to advocate for preserving accessible postal services in all communities. The American people deserve a Postal Service that prioritizes their needs over corporate interests or cost-cutting measures that undermine its core mission. Please take action to ensure the Postal Service remains a robust and inclusive institution that serves all citizens equitably.
