Letter to the Editor - Lawmakers saving Postal Service is critical

Editor,

I have been reading with interest the news articles about the disruption of the U.S. Postal Service over the last week.

I rely on the USPS to deliver several of my life-saving medications. The latest attempts by Postmaster General DeJoy and the Trump administration to disrupt our access to the mail may delay my latest delivery of medication. I am terrified of what that may mean for my health and wellbeing. Some of my most important medications are delivered by mail, including my high blood pressure and heart medications.

As a veteran who lives in rural Montana, access to my medication is critical. Continued attacks on my ability to receive mail could put my life at risk.

I am calling on our congressional delegation to continue working in Montana’s best interest and continue working to save the USPS.
