Save the USPS!

I urge you to immediately co-sponsor the bipartisan resolution affirming the public nature of the United States Postal Service and rejecting any efforts to privatize it. Support for protecting a public post office is overwhelmingly bipartisan.. It is no surprise that the resolutions already have the support of Republicans like Sen. Thom Tillis and Rep. Don Bacon and Democrats like Sen. Gary Peters and Rep. Stephen Lynch. They support USPS protections because they know what privatization would mean for their constituents across political parties: lost jobs, delivery service cuts, price hikes, and rural communities, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and so many more, all left behind. The USPS is one of the only constitutionally mandated federal agencies. Every day, 630,000 postal employees work hard to connect more than 168 million addresses. The post office remains one of the nation’s most trusted federal institutions, because of its universal service obligation to deliver in every ZIP code no matter if it’s profitable. Private companies will never be able to deliver universal service. They’ll only go where it’s profitable. Please join your colleagues in co-sponsoring this bipartisan resolution and then also commit to passing it now. Let’s keep the Postal Service public, accountable, and working for every American.
