Mr. Lovejoy,

The USPS is enshrined in our constitution. You are hurting the lives of millions of Americans who need the services of the postal service you have slowed. I know you like money but how much money do you need if you try to privatize the postal service? History will not look good for you if you continue this destruction of the USPS. If you think you were bothered by today’s protest outside your house it will only get worst. Those protesters are not going to give up and they will follow you wherever you go.

Also remember you are being used by Donald Trump and when he is done with you he will toss aside and your reputation will be gone. Just ask Michael Cohen and a host of other people He has used, discarded and destroyed.

Now is the time to resign and walk away before things gets worst. There is an anger out there right now and you need to decide either party and money or country? Do yourself and your family a favor and resign.

I think I may plagiarize a bit if you don't mind...of coarse I'll reword it using my own 'style' of grammar...

Thanks!

I dashed it off rather quickly. I’m sure if I had to write it like I did with my college papers I would have edited it several times.

Bounce messages usually happen pretty fast for closed accounts. I'll keep checking to see if mine bounces.

Thank for the info.

Kick some bucks to the USPS and swamp his mailbox.

Email seems lazy.

This is what puts more pressure on.

That being said, it sure was cathartic to write my email to DeJoy and hit send. Tweeting it to the USPS is a good feeling as well.

So there is that.

I sent mine after it was posted that he shut down his email account but so far no notice of a bounced message so I hope he gets it. I'm also posting it and sending to USPS via twitter.

Dear Sir,

The USPS is in crisis and it has been exacerbated by your policies. You and the board have the power to save the USPS, yet you are out in the OPEN destroying the very service that has served this nation for 200 years. The USPS always delivers the mail on time. It is a service, it is in their name. The USPS is not a business meant to make some person or shareholders profit, it is a service to the people of the United States of America to connect ALL Americans with their fellow citizens and provide timely delivery of the mail.

Your changes and removal of equipment, postal boxes, cutting of overtime, and a clearly mandated order to slow down the mail, have impacted all citizens, veterans and people alike. This has come at time during the Covid-19 pandemic and a time when mail in voting is on the table for millions of Americans. Donald Trump has continuously lied about the mail being slow and mail not being delivered and now YOU, Sir, are enabling and enacting changes to make his lies come true.

This can not stand. Your actions are criminal. You have clearly violated your duty to serve the people of the United States of America in your job as the head of the USPS. Your actions have slowed the delivery of vital medications for veterans and citizens and those same actions have slowed the delivery of critical payments to banks, lenders, medical facilities, social security recipients, utility companies, all of which has cost Americans millions of dollars in late payments due to fees and fines imposed for missed dates. The slowed delivery of medications has put the lives of citizens in danger and most possibly resulted in health impacts that are yet to be known.

Several State Attorney Generals are now looking into suing the USPS and you in particular for your continued crimes against the American people. Your only recourse now is to do the right thing. We the people, demand justice and the restoration of the USPS.

First, STOP all destruction of equipment and removal operations Nationwide.
Second, Reinstate overtime for ALL USPS employees.
Third, Petition Congress for immediate funds to help shore up the infrastructure for the upcoming election.
Forth, Apologize to the Nation on Live TV for your mistake in trying to run a SERVICE like a business.
Fifth and final, Resign your post.

My advice was to save himself because while Trump won't go to jail, he will.
