Fair warning, I'm going to get political.
Aug. 15th, 2020 04:17 pmI've been getting madder and madder about the criminal election interference and subversion of the US Postal Service--an branch of government enshrined in the Constitution, dammit. But I felt helpless. Then my husband came up with a plan. Maybe we can't take action against these crooks individually, but our states can. So we're writing our governor, our state attorney general, our senators and representatives. I've copied the letter below. I'll put the relevant links in the comments. Speaking of which, don't even try to apologize for the fecal matter befouling the White House. I will delete your comment. His crimes against the Constitution and the people of the United States are not up for discussion here.
The letter:
Pursuant to these criminal actions to interfere with the US mail system, a system authorized by the US Constitution, Representative Bill Pascell of NJ has made a criminal referral to the New Jersey attorney general calling for a grand jury investigation into President Trump and United States Postal Services (USPS) chief Louis DeJoy, alleging they have possibly subverted the November election.

[Final paragraph for state officials] I urge you to follow suit and institute proceedings against President Trump and USPS chief Louis DeJoy.
[Final paragraph for national officials] I urge you to follow suit and recommend [State] Governor [Name] and Attorney General [Name] institute proceedings against President Trump and USPS chief Louis DeJoy.
The letter:
I am disturbed about the news that USPS has been removing mail sorting machinery, mailboxes and defunding overtime for mail workers at a time when, due to the COVID pandemic, the mail could be the only safe form of voting in elections on November. President Trump has said on live television that he opposes funding for USPS in order to interfere with mail-in voting https://apnews.com/14a2ceda724623604cc8d8e5ab9890ed.
