The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a foundational public institution that has served Americans since 1775. Its mandate of universal service obligation ensures equal access to affordable mail service for all citizens, regardless of location. Privatizing this essential service would jeopardize its core mission and harm countless communities, especially in rural areas where private carriers are unwilling to operate due to lack of profitability. The USPS is self-funded and does not rely on taxpayer dollars, providing a vital service without burdening the public purse. Its workers are dedicated public servants who go above and beyond, often serving as lifelines in their communities. Dismantling or privatizing the USPS would disrupt lives and livelihoods across the nation. We urge you to protect this invaluable national asset from any attempts at privatization that would undermine its ability to serve all Americans equitably and affordably.
