Every person who calls the United States home deserves a postal system that is reliabletransparent, and fair. That is not a luxury. It is part of the basic infrastructure of democracy and daily life. When the USPS fails to provide consistent, real-time postmarks, everyday people pay the price. Ballots get questioned. Legal filings get contested. Benefit applications get delayed. Bills show unpaid. Refunds, appeals, and time-sensitive documents become a gamble. And the burden does not fall equally. Seniors, rural communities, people with disabilities, and working families who rely most on the mail get hit hardest.¹

A postmark is not just ink on an envelope. It is proof. It can be the difference between “accepted” and “denied,” between “on time” and “too late.” Real-time postmarks create a clear, verifiable record that protects customers and strengthens confidence in the system. Without them, confusion spreads and trust erodes. That breakdown fuels cynicism, invites litigation, and punishes people who followed the rules.

This does not have to be complicated. The USPS can, and should, restore real-time postmarking as a standard practice. That means honoring collection times, documenting processing accurately, and ensuring mail deposited on a given day is marked that day. It also means choosing operational integrity over shortcuts that leave the public guessing. When deadlines matter, people should not have to depend on luck, insider knowledge, or expensive workarounds like private couriers.

Real-time postmarks are also about accountability. If the USPS cannot reliably record when mail enters the system, the public cannot track performance or identify where failures occur. Transparent postmarking helps pinpoint delays, improve operations, and rebuild confidence, especially during election seasons and high-volume periods. It is a simple safeguard that supports both efficiency and justice.

Power to the people means demanding systems that work for all of us, not just those with money, lawyers, or flexible schedules. The United States Post Office (USPS) is a public trust, and it must operate like one.

Call to action: Sign and share this letter to Members of Congress to protect vote-by-mail and demand stronger postal reliability, including real-time postmarks, clear standards for real-time postmarks, public reporting on compliance, and enforceable accountability when the USPS falls short.

When we speak together, we can restore a mail system worthy of the people it serves.
