Stand up for the post office

Sun., Aug. 23, 2020

Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers has been an unapologetic apologist for our president, so I’m curious if she’ll take a walk on the wild side, and speak up for our postal service.

The president’s efforts to destroy the post office for political reasons might be the issue that finally awakes our country to the reality that the Trump administration is at least as dangerous as the Covid.

The institution that serves so many of us so well must be especially critical for our representative’s core group of supporters like seniors, veterans, and farmers.

I’m hopeful that Ms. McMorris Rogers will summon up some courage and do the right thing here for her state and her country.
