Oppose postal privatization and support H.R. 70

Privatizing the Postal Service would have far-reaching negative consequences nationwide, including:

• Jeopardizing the jobs of 640,000 postal employees, over 73,000 of whom are military veterans, and impacting the 7.9 million Americans in the mailing industry.

• Endangering the security of the nation’s mail system, threatening the safe delivery of prescription drugs, money, and election mail.

• Slashing service quality and hiking prices beyond affordability.

• Potentially ceasing delivery for America’s rural and low-income communities, negatively impacting nearly all 50 states in some form, but especially large, less-populous regions.

Reps. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) and Nick LaLota (R-NY) introduced H.Res.70, which calls on Congress to take all appropriate measures to ensure that the Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the federal government and not subject to privatization.
