Cindy Heyward: Since Trump appointed a new Postmaster General, there have been a lot of changes in the organization from the top. He removed the top two officials & reorganized 23 others. Now he's helping dismantle the Postal Service.

Cindy Heyward: Trump & the new postmaster are trying to sabotage the election via mail-in ballots. They're dismantling sorting machines, removing the blue mail boxes...they're setting us up to fail.

Cindy Heyward: They're targeting Dem/ communities. Trump understands that the people want to vote him out of office. He's doing everything he can to suppress the mail; they've already removed a lot of voting machines from Dem areas & now mail

Cindy Heyward: The Postal Service is what knits America together. No other agency could handle what we do on a daily basis. The lame-duck Congress in 2006 required us to fund pensions 75 yrs in advance.

Cindy Heyward: The Postal Service is a service to the people; it wasn't designed to make money. If the USPS is privatized, people wouldn't get their mail like they do now.

Cindy Heyward: We would like to introduce postal banking, and we are already in every community in the U.S.

Cindy Heyward: People, esp. the elderly & disabled, are relying on us for the delivery of their medicines & the items they need. We're being told to let the mail sit. We're not allowed overtime to get the mail out on time.

Cindy Heyward: I'm impressed with how the public is keeping up with what's going on. They see what's going on, that the Trump admin is sabotaging us. The postmaster general isn't looking out for what's best for us.

Cindy Heyward: The Post Office predates this nation. Jefferson became the Postmaster General in 1775. He knew it was essential to have this public service for the people. We want it to continue.

Cindy Heyward: Our stamps are affordable, & the stamps & services we provide fund our operations. We do not receive tax dollars.

Cindy Heyward: Please call your Senators & tell them to pass the HEROES Act which includes money for the Postal Service. You can also use the hashtag #SavethePostOffice.
