About, DeJoy. [View all]

He took so much from all Americans under the urging of D. J. Trump. He suppressed our voice by sabotaging the US mail service. He destroyed counting machines. These machines were not just moved out but taken apart and thrown in the trash. Drop boxes were removed for no explainable reason. How can anyone possibly and reasonably explain why? Yes, we know, but how do they explain this?

This was done during a pandemic with 100's of thousands of Americans dead. It was not safe for any of us to vote in person. The state made changes to our voting rules, they tried to keep us safe even as the GOP tried to make us less safe.

But wait, there is more to their cruelty. When DeJoy sabotaged the postal service he wasn't just taking away our vote, he took away speedy delivery of life saving medicines that many receive by mail. This during a pandemic. He caused many to have to fight against extra fees on late payments to CC companies and utilities because the mail was slower than the pony express. More angst for us. ALL DURING A PANDEMIC.

It doesn't just stop there. They also took away a very simple sweet form of communication from us during a pandemic, a hand written note or a small gift to a loved one that you have been unable to visit in eleven months. Sure you can tweet or FB. However nothing will ever replace a card and a hug and kiss...xoxoxo in a handwritten note. I got one of those cards the other day from my niece with a cute hand drawn picture from my 4 year old great niece. She also signed her name and her baby sisters. It is hanging on the refrigerator door now.

Love to all.
