The proposed CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act by Rep. Tom Emmer would prohibit the Federal Reserve from offering banking services directly to individuals, effectively blocking a key avenue for implementing postal banking nationwide. This act would deny millions of unbanked and underbanked Americans access to secure, affordable financial services through their local post offices. As an alternative to predatory services, postal banking could provide a trusted public option, allowing working families to save, pay bills, and conduct basic transactions. I urge you to oppose this harmful legislation that would maintain exclusionary policies benefiting large banks over the people's interests. Instead, support efforts to enact postal banking as a pro-consumer reform giving all citizens access to the financial mainstream.
