The news keeps coming fast and furious about the USPS. The fight isn't over. 

WASHINGTON – The head of the U.S. Postal Service has no plans to reverse changes to infrastructure that lawmakers feared could disrupt mail-in voting in November, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.  

Pelosi said she spoke with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Wednesday and told him "his announcement is not a solution and is misleading."

"The Postmaster General frankly admitted that he had no intention of replacing the sorting machines, blue mailboxes and other key mail infrastructure that have been removed and that plans for adequate overtime, which is critical for the timely delivery of mail, are not in the works," she said.

I read this story today on IG and it reminded me why I'm doing this. I hope it inspires you to keep up the fight. Our country relies on the USPS everyday and we all stand to lose if it goes under. 

76 more days until the election.

Take care out there.
