I typically write 30 to 40 checks per month, by hand, using a fountain pen. Then I send them out first class mail. Its my homage to days of yore. The various vendors are always hassling me to switch to online bill paying but I say no!
Contact your congressional representatives and Speaker Nancy Pelosi: the House needs to convene and draft articles of impeachment against Trump and DeJoy. DeJoy needs to be removed from his position IMMEDIATELY.
Contact your congressional representatives: the Senate needs to return to D.C. and take concrete action, working with the House, to fund the USPS.
Contact your state's Attorney General and urge them to take legal action against the Trump administration and Postmaster General DeJoy. Every state can do this and they cannot be stopped by Trump's corrupt DOJ, Trump himself, or anyone else in the federal government. It is up to states to protect the rights of their citizens and put a stop to the crimes being committed by the federal government against the people.
Contact your state's Secretary of State. Each state controls ALL elections, including federal elections. Each state needs to ensure that every registered voter receives a ballot and that their vote is counted. This is a power that the states have to counteract federal interference with the election.
This is about more than buying stamps and sending packages.
This is about saving the United States Postal Service and protecting the right to vote by mail (a right Trump is using, but insists no one else be allowed to).
This is about saving the United States Postal Service and protecting people who rely on it to obtain their income, their medications, their bills (and pay their bills) and run their businesses.
This is about refusing to allow the Trump administration and his criminal accomplice, Postmaster General Dejoy, to destroy the United States Postal Service and tamper with the presidential election in 2020.
DO NOT SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING. EVERY SINGLE PERSON MUST DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY UNTIL THIS THREAT HAS BEEN ERADICATED AND TRUMP AND DEJOY HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
These are the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service. It is their job to oversee Postmaster General DeJoy and it is their duty to remove him from his position. Feel free to email them.

@2 Can't hurt, but the Board of Governors is packed 100% with Mitch MConnell's cronies and lickspittles. This is another part of the government where McConnell declined to hold a vote for Obama's nominees in the Senate.
@3 I know that. I still believe they need to hear from people EVERY SINGLE DAY. Every person in this country, no matter who they are, uses the USPS. Every person in this country relies on the USPS. If every single person who relies on the USPS wrote to all of these people and their representatives EVERY SINGLE DAY without fail, they might actually do something. We the People have to stop this, because if we the don't, we get what we deserve. Nixon tried to destroy the USPS and the people stopped him. Reagan tried to destroy the USPS and the people stopped him. George W. Bush tried to destroy the USPS and the people stopped him. Congress had done their best to destroy the USPS and the people need to work harder to make them fix it. Trump is trying to destroy the USPS and the people need to stop him. This is not normal. This is not okay. This must be stopped NOW.
@7 Oregon has used voting by mail for over 20 years with no problems. Everyone in Oregon votes by mail. In states where people CHOOSE to vote by mail they do it for any number of reasons:
They live in a rural area where there is no polling place near them.
They are disabled or elderly and it is easier to cast their vote by mail.
They are a college student or deployed in the military and need to cast their ballot by mail.
They are required to work during in-person voting hours and therefore their only choice is to vote by mail.
OR
They simply want to exercise their right to vote by mail and no one has the right to stop them from doing so.
TRUMP IS VOTING BY MAIL WHEN HE COULD LITERALLY FLY TO FLORIDA, VOTE IN PERSON, SHIT IN HIS DIAPER, AND BE FLOWN BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
Trump must lose. Put all of your differences, petty feuds, and grudges aside for a few months. Put them aside, no matter who you supported during the primaries. Bernie, Kasich, Michelle, Elizabeth Warren, Colin Powell, Joe Walsh, the Lincoln Project members, many from all across the political spectrum agree: Trump must lose. He'll stop at nothing to win, so we must do everything we can to make sure he loses. Don't let that con-man gangster pull off another heist.
we've spent at least $350,000,000.00 caddying Hair Furor to and fro, golfing when there's a Panfucking Demic he's totally Incapable of Handling. do you think that's enough?
also, do you think we should all Vote in Person during the Panfiucking Demic?
@13 No, there is NOT any difference and YOU know that.
Trump has spent $142 MILLION dollars flying to Florida to play golf. So don't sell some shit about people complaining about him voting in person. And oh yeah, he uses Mar-a-Lago (NOT A RESIDENCE) for his absentee ballot, which is also illegal. But hey, who's keeping track at this point, am I right? He only changed his state of residence because New York rejected him so profoundly in 2016, he's looking for an ego stroke with the votes he believes he will be getting in Florida. Meanwhile, his attack on voting by mail (which most residents in Florida do, including Republicans) will turn Florida blue. Trump stating that voting by mail is safe and secure in the states of Florida and Texas, but nowhere else in the country (including the states that have used voting by mail for decades now) is pure horseshit and you know that.
If TRUMP can vote by mail, so can the rest of the country.
There is no difference between an absentee ballot and any other vote by mail ballot.
All of the states that have done it now for decades know that.
Trump knows that.
The ONLY reason to prevent people from voting by mail is that it is nearly impossible to tamper with and fraud in vote by mail is less than one percent. (and that fraud to date has 99.9% of the time been committed by Republicans). The ONLY reason to prevent people from voting by mail is to tamper with the election because you know that if everyone who can does vote that you will lose. The ONLY reason to prevent people from voting by mail is to make sure they either vote in person and their vote is tampered with (via electronic voting machines), don't vote at all, or go out and vote during a pandemic and get sick and die.
Voting by mail here in Oregon - every ballot is sent to a registered voter and has a unique bar code. The voter votes, signs the ballot (signature must match the signature on their voter registration) and then the voter mails or drops off the ballot in a drop box (if one is available to them) and the voter can track their ballot by the unique bar code. It is literally the safest way to vote. The entire nation needs to join the present century, enact universal vote by mail, and make elections (if not all, at the very least the presidential and congressional elections) paid days off and/or national holidays.
If this country actually gave a shit about democracy (it never has and never will and now we're witnessing the end of it while people cheer it on), voting would be required as part of one's citizenship.
@2, @5, @8, @13, and @15 xina: Thank you for sharing such important information regarding the saving of our U.S. Post Offices and vital mail services. I made a list of people to contact about firing Trump's appointed USPS saboteur, Louis de Joy. I have already email Robert Duncan and will continue emailing those I have on my list. Mail-in voting is a right to all U.S. citizens.
@16: xina tells it like it IS, Rainy. Stop hanging around Doofy---it's part of your Downfall.
@18 you are exactly right. Changing the way votes are collected by destroying the USPS two months before an election is election fraud! The fraud is being committed by the Trump administration and the Postmaster General! Voting by mail is safe and secure and has been done for decades. No one has ever questioned it and it has never been attacked like Trump is attacking it (with his lies and misinformation). So thank you for proving my point. Oregonians have voted by mail for over 20 years (since 1987, actually, with national elections since 2000). So any and all interference with how votes are cast or counted due to destruction of the USPS is fraud. Your statement proves the point I am making. Thanks!
@16 this country fought two wars so that white men could vote. this country has never had and never will have a true democracy as long as people are prevented from voting and voter suppression in this country has always been and will always be (the SCOTUS even gutted the voting rights act to ensure it). surely you are not as stupid as you repeatedly pretend to be on this forum. if you are, well that is truly sad and you should be pitied.

I have a manual transmission, use paper maps, and pay with cash.

@9 I do not post like this all day, everyday. Your perception is not reality.
Regarding the USPS, this is an issue that absolutely needs to in your face 24/7 until it is resolved.

Oh xina, your rage once again cuts off your mental clarity. The country fought two world wars to protect democracy, so we did give a "shit" about it.
@16:
Most of the people who fought in those wars are dead and a good portion of their progeny have very short memories...
