We see across the country the dismantling of the Postal Service, which has been a lifeline in American life. My constituents are terrified, and they are angry because they are not receiving their medications on time; delays are hurting our small businesses; and they are outraged that their constitutional right to vote could be taken away. This is not only an attack on our democracy but also on our workforce heroes, who, in spite of the pandemic, deliver our mail. Forty percent of these heroes are people of color. My grandfather retired as a letter carrier after 35 years of service. I urge an ``aye'' vote to support, rather than to destroy, our Postal Service.
