[Mike 03]

2. Very good development

Kicking!

[RainCaster]

3. And in breaking news, the postmaster will not appear because imPOTUS

You know that will be the next in this saga.

5. I don't think the president has that authority

I think the PG reports to the board of governors, not the president.

4. Not until mid-September IIRC, may be too late by then. Nt

[crickets]

19. Sept. 17 - cutting it close. nt

[JudyM]

20. Ridiculously long wait considering the fact of urgent timing.

[Grasswire2]

6. SUBPOENA THE EFFER. GIVE HIM 24 HOURS TO APPEAR

NOW.

No "strongly worded letters"

The republic is at stake.

[Grokenstein]

8. This. The postal system is already in grave danger.

The longer certain political figures piddle around waiting for opportunities to act out for the cameras (without actually accomplishing anything), the worse things get.

18. I am

already receiving some mail late. Never received a utility bill I should have received 3 weeks ago. I ordered 2 things from 2 different places over 2 weeks ago and still haven’t received them. A piece of mail from my congressman regarding applying for a mail in ballot for our August 4th primary arrived two days past the date to apply. Luckily I have been keeping up with vote by mail. In Missouri it is difficult to vote by mail or vote early, but this year they have made a few exceptions, so we were able to do so. We mailed it in two weeks ago. For November we plan to take them to the election board or drop box.
It is ridiculous trump is getting away with this. He doesn’t seem to realize many of his supporters are allowed to vote by mail and will hurt his supporters as well.

10. Don't send the subpoena by post. . . . nt

[Cryptoad]

7. Nuttin else...

collect evidence to put his ass in jail come Jan 20th!

[SallyHemmings]

9. Our mail delivery has been sporadic

I live in Chester County, one of the Philly ‘burbs.

We don’t get a lot of mail, but the change in the last month is obvious.

11. K&R!!

[dalton99a]

13. Do it posthaste.

[we can do it]

14. Needs to be soon.

[triron]

15. Better call your congress rep about why waiting until Sept 17 for god's sake??

[benld74]

16. What's the over & under on #days he delays?? Nt

[Ford_Prefect]

17. The first responsibility he has is the unfettered, accurate and speedy delivery of the mail.

Its in the contract and the law. Anything he chooses to do must facilitate that first. If he chooses otherwise he falls foul of federal law and USPS procedures. Not only can he lose the job, he can go to prison along with paying some rather steep fines. Not to mention contempt of congress (yeah, I hear you).

Slap him with subpoenas. Send the D.C.National Guard to collect his ass. Make him explain the memos and the delays in detail on camera under oath.

21. Worth Kicking Again!
