A RESOLUTION

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service and reaffirming support for its continued public service to the American people; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the United States Postal Service (USPS) was founded in 1775 under the leadership of Benjamin Franklin, the first Postmaster General, and it remains one of the nation's oldest and most trusted public institutions; and

WHEREAS, for 250 years, the United States Postal Service has fulfilled its constitutional mandate to "bind the Nation together" by ensuring reliable, secure, and universal mail delivery to all Americans, regardless of geography or economic status; and

WHEREAS, the USPS carries out the safe delivery of prescriptions, election ballots, business correspondence, and personal communication that sustain families, communities, and commerce throughout the United States; and

WHEREAS, the more than 630,000 postal employees nationwide—including thousands here in the State of Georgia—embody dedication and integrity in service to the people of this nation; and

WHEREAS, the USPS stands as a self-sustaining, constitutionally authorized public institution that belongs to the people and has consistently demonstrated its essential role in promoting democracy, connectivity, and economic opportunity; and

WHEREAS, proposals to privatize, weaken, or dismantle the Postal Service threaten the affordability, accessibility, and reliability of this service, particularly in rural and underserved areas of Georgia; and

WHEREAS, Georgia's leaders stand with postal workers and citizens in affirming that the Postal Service must remain a public service—affordable, accessible, and accountable to all, continuing its vital mission to serve every household and community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service in honor of its historic contributions and enduring commitment to serving the American people.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of this body reaffirm their support for the United States Postal Service as a vital public institution that must not be weakened or diminished.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
