First, I thank the Postal workers across this Nation who work so tirelessly to ensure we receive our mail in a timely fashion and are now doing it under tremendous difficulty. Almost every business, from the largest corporation to the smallest hometown operation, relies on the Postal Service. But for those businesses, those families--medicine, food, and goods are in jeopardy, not from a foreign adversary and not from war, but from attack within our borders, from those in charge, from the Postmaster General. Why? What is the primary purpose? It is to subvert an election. Today and Monday we will combat that attack. We will give the funding and the procedures necessary to restore and support the U.S. Post Office. We have also responded to the unanimous request of the Trump- appointed Postal Board of Governors for $25 billion in much-needed emergency operational relief. For over 200 years, neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night has stayed these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. Let it not be on our watch that this legacy ends. ____________________
