Vladimir,
Things just keep going from bad to worse for the
United States Postal Service (USPS). After
Trump appointed his lackey and huge corporate donor, Louis
DeJoy, as Postmaster General, we knew it was a bad sign. But
no one could have anticipated just how disruptive and
nefarious DeJoy's actions would be. Under his leadership,
postal workers were prohibited from using their overtime to
fulfill their many duties and were told to "leave mail behind"
instead of working extra hours — mail that includes
lifesaving medication, and other vital necessities
that people have no other way to get in the middle of a
pandemic.
We've also seen mass removal of
blue mailboxes all over the country, and automated mail
sorting machines are rapidly being "decommissioned,"
bringing the efficacy of the USPS to a grinding
halt. The election is looming ever closer, and will
involve an unprecendented amount of mail-in ballots thanks to
Trump's shameful response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is voter suppresion, plain and simple.
We cannot let this administration get away with stealing
another election. Trump and DeJoy claim that these
changes have been implemented to supposedly "cut costs," but
the government should have provided financial aid to the USPS
long ago. Sign the petition and demand that Trump bails
out the USPS and puts a stop to these despotic
changes!
Thank you,
