Opposition to Proposed Changes in USPS Governance

I am writing to express my strong opposition to any changes in the structure or governance of the U.S. Postal Service, particularly the proposal to consolidate it with the Commerce Department. The USPS has long maintained its unique position as an independent institution dedicated to serving the American public, and its autonomy is essential to that mission. Service Integrity The Postal Service plays a critical role in ensuring that all Americans, regardless of location, receive reliable mail delivery and essential services. Altering its governance risks undermining its operational integrity, which could jeopardize the quality and consistency of service that millions depend on daily. Transparency and Accountability A proposal to consolidate the USPS with the Commerce Department lacks substantive rationale. Decisions of this magnitude require clear, evidence-based justification and a transparent review process. Without these, any restructuring may lead to unintended consequences that could compromise both efficiency and accountability. Commitment to Public Service The USPS is more than a mail carrier—it is a vital public service that connects communities, supports small businesses, and upholds democratic engagement. Preserving its independent structure ensures that it remains focused on public interest rather than shifting toward a model driven by commercial priorities. I respectfully urge you to oppose any changes to the structure or governance of the U.S. Postal Service. Please work to safeguard its independence, ensuring that it continues to serve all Americans effectively and equitably.
