To the Editor:

I am writing this letter on behalf of the Great Bay Democratic Club, serving the towns of Little Egg Harbor, Tuckerton, Eagleswood and Bass River, to express our support of the U.S. Postal Service.

Of late, President Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress have ramped up their crusade to kill the 245-year-old USPS, an entity President Trump refers to as “a joke.” The president has even gone so far as to appoint his ally and top Republican donor, Louis DeJoy, as the new postmaster general.
