Political Quotes

“I stand with my colleagues today shocked and dismayed by the actions of this administration. For the past few years, the Oversight and Reform Committee has worked in a bipartisan fashion to modernize the Postal Service with former Representative Mark Meadows leading the charge. Now, like too many things over the past 3\1/2\ years, mail has become a partisan issue. The Postal Service is a pillar of our democracy. It is essential for providing critical services such as: lifesaving prescriptions, Social Security benefits, paychecks, tax returns, letters home from military families, and absentee ballots to millions of Americans. The VA delivers prescriptions to 80 percent of our veterans via the mail. This intentional and ridiculous slowdown means vets are skipping doses while checking empty mailboxes. While I was back home, one of my businesses told me they hadn't received mail for 10 days. Another person told me they received mail every other day. This cannot go on, and we cannot trust the word of a Postmaster General who is unqualified and whose sweeping operational changes degrade the Postal Service, delay the mail, and threaten our upcoming election. We must pass the Delivering for America Act so we can return the United States post office to normal and ensure we have a safe election where everyone is counted.”
