The Assembly Resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service (USPS), highlighting its significant role in American history since its establishment on July 26, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress with Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General. The resolution notes the remarkable growth of the USPS, which now operates over 31,000 post offices and delivers more than 112 billion pieces of mail annually to over 168 million addresses. It emphasizes the USPS's commitment to public service, ensuring mail delivery six days a week to every American address, regardless of location, and its role as a community hub that fosters connections among residents.

Furthermore, the resolution underscores the USPS's status as one of the largest employers in the country, providing middle-class wages and benefits to over 500,000 employees, including veterans. It also highlights the agency's importance in safeguarding privacy and preventing fraud through federal protections. Despite its contributions, the USPS faces threats of privatization, which could harm jobs and service accessibility. The resolution calls on Congress to maintain the USPS as a public institution and affirms its essential role in American society, urging continued support for its mission to connect and serve all Americans.
