Bill > SR205

This resolution recognizes the 250-year history of the United States Postal Service (USPS), highlighting its significant role in American society. The resolution emphasizes that the USPS was founded in 1775, predating the nation's founding, and has been crucial in connecting communities and supporting democratic communication. It notes that the postal service operates without taxpayer funding, instead relying on postage and postal product revenue, and supports a $1.3 trillion mailing and package industry that generates 7 million jobs. The resolution praises postal workers as dedicated public servants who provide essential services and offer good, living-wage jobs with strong benefits. It also warns against potential privatization efforts that could compromise the service's mission and affordability. The USPS is portrayed as a resilient institution that continues to deliver critical communications, including letters, packages, medicines, and mail-in ballots, despite technological changes. Ultimately, the resolution calls for recognizing the USPS's 250th anniversary, honoring postal workers, and reaffirming a commitment to keeping the postal service public, affordable, and accessible to all Americans.
