Louis DeJoy is still a corrupt, partisan menace and saboteur to the US Postal Service. I live in District 7 in Gwinnett County Georgia and my Democratic Representative is Carolyn Bourdeaux. Please read my letter to her below:
Hello Rep Bourdeaux,
One of your Democratic voters and constituents writing as I am concerned about issues at our local Suwanee Post Office. For over two months the three blue, drive-up US mail drop boxes have been taped shut so they cannot be used. This is a growing inconvenience for residents to have to park our cars and go inside to simply drop off mail - particularly during a pandemic, it is safer to drop mail in the outside drop boxes.
I've lived here over 20 years and these drive-up mail drop boxes are very well used by residents particularly around the holidays and during voting season for mail-in ballots.
I have inquired with the workers inside the post office and they said they are not allowed to discuss why the boxes have been taped shut or if and when they will be usable again.
I was able to ask a postal worker who driving a truck in my former neighborhood of RiverMoore Park and that postal delivery worker told me it was some sort of 'compromise' in order to keep Saturday deliveries. The worker was vague, again clearly they have been told not to discuss this issue with the public, but the postal worker indicated that Saturday deliveries were going to be canceled but in order to keep Saturday deliveries continued the Post Office was required to tape over the drop boxes in exchange.
What in the world?
It is clear that Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, is still deliberately crippling the convenience, accessibility, speed, and reliability of the US Mail to prevent our ability to fully access postal services.
KEY QUESTIONS:
1. Is this happening across Gwinnett County?
2. Is this happening in all districts or only in Democratic districts?
3. Is this happening only in Georgia or in other states?
4. Is there any movement to hold Louis DeJoy accountable for his partisan and corrupt ongoing disruption of the US Mail services?
Beyond the daily inconvenience and disruption of service, I am deeply concerned about the upcoming midterm elections when people, particularly the elderly and those with disabilities need access to these drive-up mail drop boxes.
Any information you can provide is appreciated. Any way to elevate this issue because I fear it is far bigger than just Suwanee, GA.
Many thanks -
Is anyone else seeing and experiencing this issue?
I know that along with the destruction of high-speed mail sorting machines, DeJoy ordered the removal of many of these convenient mail drop-boxes prior to the 2020 election.
But clearly DeJoy and the Republicans remaining on the Postal Board of Governors aren’t done. Now he is ordering the remaining boxes be taped shut. What the hell people? How can we get rid of DeJoy and fully restore our US mail to the quality, speed, reliability, and convenience it was before.
