Why is this important?

The United States Postal Service is a national treasure and an integral part of American History since 1669.  It was ratified by the the Second Continental Congress in 1775, with Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General.  The United States Postal Service has kept its promise of neither snow, nor rain, nor dark of night would keep them from delivering the mail for 351 years!  They have been faithful to America in famine, drought, depression, economic downturns, snowstorms, hurricanes, pandemics. The USPS has been a symbol of American Pride and Ingenuity.   Now the USPS needs the help of all Americans to keep it from being a political pawn.  "We cannot, and must not and must not and will not allow our USPS to be trashed; it's an emblem of the American spirit, a symbol of America's success and, helped build the country, and is a deep source of pride for generations and generations of American Postal Workers(BHO)."
1) The USPS is designed to provide service to Americans regardless of their address, location, wealth or lack thereof, or station in life
2) Privatization of the US Mail will further hasten the destruction of American institutions already under siege by the current administration
3) Tampering with it or the US mail is a federal offense backed by the US Constitutional
4) The US Postal Service employs more disabled and capable US veterans than any other entity in the United States; and is one of the largest single source employee in the US.
5) Destruction of the US Postal Service will throw millions of Americans out of work
6) The United States Postal Service is not a for profit entity, but a service and a right for every American citizen
