5. CEOs with companies that use the mail every day?

165,000 Covid-19 deaths and counting in case this took anyones eye off the ball. This is a trump diversion but is a dangerous one. Postal Service employees each and everyone take an oath to this country. Not that oaths mean much to pukes anymore. Our Postal Service will deliver, we can count on that.

Temporary workers not so much. They deliver the mail to the wrong address and the regular gets blamed for it.

7. I say State Attorneys General need to get a Federal Judge to issue cease & desist orders

against throwing out sorting machines and removing mail boxes and generally tampering with the mail. Up until now, mail tampering laws have dealt with more minor issues, but this is NUCLEAR warfare compared to previous cases.

The courts need to tie D-Day Joy's hands to make him stop or send him to jail if he doesn't stop this.

Do not the banks, and loan industries, hospital billing and every billionaire group that depend on payments have any concern of their incoming revenue being delayed or lost? I never trusted just giving my routing info out to just have my money taken. I mail checks, go ahead laugh. Are they gonna force digital money flow and then one day drain all our accounts? Who will stop the digital theft? This congress and AG? Maybe a “Q” theory type thought here but.......

11. Here is the email that I sent to the 6 of them:

Gentlemen:

As the new Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy has, in short order, moved for the destruction of the United States Postal Service.

He has removed mailboxes, raised the rates for sending out ballots from their original bulk mailing rate to make it more expensive for the states, and most importantly, he has removed sorting machines around the country to make delivery of letters and packages MUCH more difficult and time consuming--and then eliminated overtime to ensure that mail will be delayed; sometimes for a considerable length of time. This is happening in the midst of a pandemic and three months away from our general election.

The delay in the mail is causing great issues even now. People are not getting their prescription medicines in a timely fashion, which is particularly acute for our veterans where prescription medicine is delivered almost 100% via the USPS. Bills are not being received and/or payments are delayed causing overdue charges and, in some cases, cancellations of insurance policies. Social Security checks--the support of our seniors--are not arriving on time. Lastly, the USPS is the only authorized carrier of mail and packages to APO addresses for our troops stationed overseas so delays outgoing and incoming are occurring. The end game is obvious. DeJoy's actions could disenfranchise our troops from voting as well as many US citizens living here in these UNITED STATES of America. The trauma that DeJoy is inflicting on the people of this country is already evident. I will go a step further and state that it is a bald-faced attempt to stop people from voting This is called voter suppression--WRIT LARGE.

DeJoy is a crony of Trump's and a sizeable donor to his election campaign. He is heavily invested in private businesses that compete with the USPS and is compromised because of it. His greed and lust for power supersede his responsibility to be an effective public servant as the Postmaster General position mandates.

The USPS is a government service for all of the people and is authorized in our Constitution. It is NOT a for-profit corporation.

The USPS Board of Governors, all of you, had it in your power to refuse Trump's request to install his crony and select a Postmaster General from the ranks who was qualified to perform the duties. Instead, you chose to be sycophants for Trump, his election committee, and the Republican Party.

By this email, I request that you immediately terminate Louis DeJoy and reverse his course of action. You have it in your power to do the decent and morally correct thing for all of the American people. Please undo this massive error in judgement on your part and appoint a person to fulfill the duties of the Postmaster General position in a nonpartisan manner for ALL of the people.

Thank you,

CousinIT

12. My letter (considerably more angry)
Sat Aug 15, 2020, 07:53 PM

I am writing as a US citizen to DEMAND that you remove Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General.

The United States Postal Service is a public institution that serves the public good, NOT a private business. And it can not and should not be run like some private enterprise. It is NOT a private enterprise. Its existence and operation is in the US Constitution, unlike XPO, Fedex and UPS.

The removal and destruction of functional mail sorting machines that were paid for by US taxpayers is not approved by taxpayers and is a move not intended to save money, but rather to throttle mail sorting and delivery for nefarious political and / or vulture capitalism reasons. During a deadly pandemic. In an election year, it's particularly destructive, deadly and egregious.

That, combined with the removal or re-assignment of 23 top level executives, denial of overtime to get mail delivered and removal of mail collection boxes all over the country, is SABOTAGE.

Mr. DeJoy has defined his sabotage of the USPS as having "unintentional" consequences. I'm here to tell you that the American people are NOT THAT STUPID and not one of them will believe such a statement. The American public are LIVID that their (it belongs to THEM) postal service is being deliberately sabotaged by a despot's appointed saboteur - Louis DeJoy. There isn't a damn thing "unintentional" about it.

You might want to remember that the USPS employs and delivers VA checks and medicines to millions of veterans around the country, who are now experiencing delays in receiving these items due to Mr. DeJoy's sabotage. Our veterans do not deserve to be treated like this!

And millions of other Americans receive medicines, social security checks, and send bill payments and receive bills through the USPS. YOU AND MR. DEJOY ARE DELAYING THEIR MAIL. This can severely affect Americans' health (during a deadly pandemic!), their credit standing (again during a deadly pandemic when millions are already hurting from loss of jobs and homes). If their money, medicines and bills or bill payments do not arrive on time, this can easily destroy or end a person's life.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS DEPEND ON THE USPS -- for more than just ballot delivery. But even with that, Mr. DeJoy has demanded that states pay .55 for each ballot mailed instead of the .20 bulk rate. And Americans can clearly see that this entire RUSE is just that - a deliberate sabotage of the USPS in order to thwart mail-in voting -- and at the President's behest and order - secretly or otherwise - in order to help Donald Trump "win" (via disenfranchisement of millions of voters) the election in November. People KNOW what this is and why it's being done and it has NOTHING to do with "cost saving" and everything to do with saving Donald Trump.

WHEN YOU SABOTAGE THE USPS, YOU ARE SABOTAGING DEMOCRACY.

I DEMAND that you REVERSE every change Louis DeJoy has instituted at the USPS. Put the sorting machines back in operation or buy new ones. Mr. DeJoy can pay for them since HE destroyed them. Allow any and all overtime required to deliver EVERY piece of mail on time. Offer those 23 displaced executives their positions back. HALT any further changes or reorganization at the USPS.

Finally, REMOVE Mr. DeJoy from his position and PROSECUTE HIM for meddling with US mail -- WITH IS A FELONY.

HOW DARE YOU, your despot "President", and his personally appointed saboteur, Mr. DeJoy, endeavor to DESTROY DEMOCRACY and destroy a fully and well-functioning USPS which is enshrined in the US constitution.

AGAIN I remind you that the USPS is NOT a "private business" and it can not be run like one. It is a PUBLIC institution that serves the PUBLIC good in countless ways and has since its creation. It MUST BE FULLY FUNDED and RESTORED TO FULL OPERATION.

My tax dollars and my patronage pay for USPS and its services. I want it FULLY FUNDED NOW. This is MY postal service and it belongs to me and every other taxpaying American. You do NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO DESTROY OUR POSTAL SERVICE. In an election year, during a deadly pandemic especially, or at any other time. Particularly now, however this endeavor is especially vile and EVIL.

Get busy and do what I asked. And what EVERY AMERICAN is asking you to do TODAY:

RESTORE AND FUND IT NOW. STOP the sabotage. And REMOVE Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General. He is a saboteur and a CRIMINAL who is destroying public property that DOES NOT BELONG to him. It is NOT his or Donald Trump's to destroy. It's OURS.

I have similarly filed a complaint with the Office of Inspector General, USPS about this matter. And, you will likely be hearing from Congress, State Attorney's General and State Boards of Elections about this as well. You will NOT destroy this beloved public institution without a fight.

HOW. DARE. YOU. sabotage something that is NOT yours to sabotage. Particularly right now. This is the epitome of pure evil. And it is pure TRUMP. And everyone knows it.

Even if they just smirk, they deserve all the fight, nastiness and resistance they get.

KEEP THE HEAT ON. And file a complaint with the Office of Inspector General,USPS: https://www.uspsoig.gov/form/file-online-complaint

You could also try emailing the Trump-appointed saboteur vulture capitalist himself: louis.dejoy@usps.gov (haven't tried yet, may bounce - couldn't verify)
