From Common Cause (http://www.commoncause.org):
This is an all-hands-on-deck moment.
The attacks on the United States Postal Service have escalated. And over the weekend, Speaker Pelosi called the House back to Washington to deal with the USPS crisis.
This much is clear: this is the biggest attack yet on the integrity of this year’s elections — which makes it all the more urgent that we fight back.
Go to https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/protect-usps-pass-the-delivering-for-america-act to urge the House to pass the Delivering for America Act — which would restore normal Postal Service operations and forbid any major changes to the USPS during the COVID-19 crisis.
The new intensity of attacks on the Postal Service — a public service millions of Americans rely on for their paychecks, their life-saving medications, communications with their loved ones, and more—is alarming.
Postmaster Louis DeJoy has made major changes to the USPS that will cause unnecessary delays in mail, including mail-in ballots. You’ve seen the stories all over the news: public mailboxes being removed by the truckload, sudden personnel shake-ups, new restrictions for postal workers that limit their ability to bring us our mail every day…
And while DeJoy made a vague statement yesterday promising no additional changes — he didn’t commit to reversing the damage that he has already done.
Americans nationwide depend on the United States Postal Service — and this moment should serve as a clarion call for all of us to speak up in its defense.
