I am writing to express deep concern over recent reports that the Trump administration is moving to dismantle the independent oversight of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and place it under the control of the Commerce Department. This alarming move could be a step toward privatization, threatening an essential public service that millions of Americans rely on daily.
The USPS is more than just a mail carrier-it is a lifeline for rural communities, small businesses, veterans, and seniors who depend on timely delivery of medications, checks, and critical documents. Unlike private delivery companies, the USPS operates with a mandate of universal service, ensuring that every American regardless of location has access to affordable mail delivery. Privatization would put profits ahead of people, potentially leading to higher costs, reduced service in less profitable areas, and job losses for the nearly 600,000 dedicated postal workers.
The Postal Service has been a pillar of American democracy for over 250 years, ensuring communication and commerce for all. We cannot allow a short-sighted political move to undermine this institution. Let's work together to defend the USPS and ensure that it remains a public service for generations to come.
I am urging you to take immediate action toward initiating impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump due to his ongoing abuses of power, unconstitutional actions, and blatant disregard for democratic principles. His recent executive orders and policies have demonstrated a clear pattern of overreach, endangering both our constitutional rights and the integrity of our government.
