Urgent: Save the USPS Before It Collapses

To: Your Representative & Senators (Resist.bot will auto-detect your location and route your message correctly.) Message: Dear [Representative/Senator’s Name], I’m writing to express my deep concern about the impending collapse of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The USPS is on the brink of financial ruin, with warnings that it could run out of cash as early as October or November 2026 unless Congress takes immediate action. This isn’t just about mail delivery—it’s about democracy itself. Millions of Americans rely on the USPS for mail-in voting, especially in rural areas and communities with limited access to alternative voting methods. If the USPS collapses or its services are gutted, it will disenfranchise voters and undermine the integrity of our elections. The USPS’s financial crisis is not due to mismanagement alone. It’s the result of unfunded mandates, like pre-funding retiree health benefits, and decades of underinvestment. Congress must act now to: Raise the USPS’s borrowing limit to prevent insolvency. Reform the pre-funding mandate for retiree health benefits, which is crippling the agency. Invest in modernization to make the USPS more efficient and sustainable. The stakes couldn’t be higher. I urge you to prioritize legislation to save the USPS before it’s too late. Our democracy depends on it. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address, City, State, ZIP Code] [Your Email or Phone Number, optional]
