STOP Trump's Postal Service Takeover
U.S. Congress
After years of pressure from thousands of Common Cause members like you, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is finally gone – but Trump’s takeover of the Postal Service is just starting.
Trump is now reportedly plotting a COMPLETE partisan takeover of our independent Postal Service [1] – defying the Constitution, which clearly gives Congress, not the President, authority over the USPS. [2]
But we know the rules have never stopped Trump, who has long wanted to privatize this essential public service at the expense of millions of Americans who rely on the Postal Service for receiving medications, sending letters to family, or casting mail-in ballots. [3]
We must act NOW to nip this in the bud.
If you agree we can’t tolerate any disruption to this crucial public good, join us today in telling Congress: Protect our Postal Service from Trump’s takeover >>

Congress must protect our Postal Service from Trump's reported plot to take it over.
Millions of Americans rely on the Postal Service for receiving medications, sending letters to family, or casting mail-in ballots.
The Postal Service is a public good guaranteed by our Constitution, which gives Congress – NOT the President – authority over the USPS. Our members of Congress must step up and protect this crucial service from Trump's hostile takeover.
