Protect USPS from privatization, preserve universal service mandate

To: Sen. Schmitt, Rep. Wagner, Sen. Hawley

The United States Postal Service is an independent establishment of the federal government that provides essential services to all Americans. It plays a crucial role in binding our nation together and ensuring consistent, affordable mail delivery to every community, rural or urban. Efforts to privatize the Postal Service would undermine this vital public institution and put its universal service mandate at risk. Congress must take decisive action to safeguard the Postal Service from any attempts at privatization that could jeopardize its ability to fulfill its public service mission. Maintaining the Postal Service as a government entity ensures it can continue serving all citizens equitably, without regard for profit motives. This resolution calls on Congress to utilize all available measures to protect the Postal Service's independence and prevent its sale or transfer to private sector control. The public interest depends on a robust, publicly operated Postal Service committed to serving every American household and business.
