REGARDING THE STIMULUS BILL

The Postal Service is at a critical juncture. In the recently passed stimulus bill, Congress only included $10 billion in borrowing authority for the USPS to cover operating expenses and other costs incurred. There is no funding to pay down existing debt.

Without a proper stimulus package—something that was freely given to many corporations—the Postal Service will run out of money by summertime.

There has never been a more important moment to tell your members of Congress how disappointed you are that they have chosen to neglect a critical agency and its essential employees during this crisis. Tell them that the Postal Service is and will continue to be crucial to fighting the pandemic by delivering critical medications, testing kits, and other necessities to Americans across the country.

We anticipate that there may be more stimulus money at a later date, but it is critical that we all contact our members of Congress and let them know how we feel. Please help us by calling your members of Congress and passing this message to all rural carriers across the nation.
