I'm writing about Postmaster DeJoy's concerning letter to DOGE that requires your immediate attention. **Threats to USPS Accountability:** - The Postmaster calls the Postal Regulatory Commission "unnecessary" and claims it has "inflicted over $50 billion in damage" - He seeks to eliminate key regulatory oversight that ensures public accountability - The letter frames public service mandates as "unfunded" burdens rather than core mission **Service Deterioration Impacts:** - My family is directly experiencing these cuts - we're still waiting for a Valentine's card mailed from just 2 hours away, now a month late - Similar delays are affecting medication deliveries for seniors in our district - Rural communities are disproportionately impacted by service reductions **Workforce and Privatization Concerns:** - Boasts of cutting 30,000 positions with 10,000 more planned departures - Characterizes worker protections as "mismanagement" compared to "private industry practices" - Language throughout suggests moving toward private sector model without universal service guarantees **Election Security Risks:** - Privatization opens door to selective ballot delivery based on voter data - Reduced service in certain areas could effectively disenfranchise voters who rely on mail ballots - Without proper oversight, mail-in voting integrity cannot be guaranteed The Constitution established the Postal Service as a public good, not a profit center. I urge you to protect USPS from privatization efforts and ensure it continues serving all Americans regardless of profitability. Please respond with your specific position on maintaining strong USPS service standards and oversight.
