The United States Postal Service plays a vital role in our nation's infrastructure and serves as a constitutionally mandated service. House Resolution 70, introduced by Representative Stephen Lynch, seeks to maintain the USPS as an independent establishment of the federal government, preventing any attempts at privatization. With 100 co-sponsors, this resolution expresses strong Congressional support for preserving the autonomy and longevity of the Postal Service. As a public service established in the Constitution, the USPS provides affordable and reliable mail delivery to every corner of the country, from densely populated cities to remote rural areas. Privatization would jeopardize this universal service obligation and could lead to reduced service levels, higher prices, and the loss of decent jobs for postal workers. Moreover, the Postal Service operates as a self-sustaining entity, funded by the sale of postal products and services rather than taxpayer dollars. The request is to join the co-sponsors of H.Res.70 to reinforce Congressional commitment to protecting the Postal Service's independence and ensuring it remains a public institution dedicated to serving all Americans equally, without being driven by profit motives or private interests. Maintaining the USPS as a federal entity is crucial for preserving this vital national infrastructure and the invaluable services it provides.
