The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 120 celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service (USPS) and emphasizes its critical role as a public institution that has unified the nation since its inception. The resolution highlights the importance of the USPS in providing essential services, such as delivering medications to seniors and veterans, ballots to voters, and supporting small businesses. It also notes that the Postal Service employs over half a million Americans and is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the country, including rural and remote areas that private companies often overlook due to profitability concerns.
Furthermore, the resolution expresses opposition to any efforts aimed at dismantling, privatizing, or weakening the USPS, particularly in light of recent initiatives that threaten its integrity. It calls for continued funding and protection of the Postal Service to ensure its sustainability for future generations. The resolution has been introduced by a bipartisan group of representatives and senators and has been referred to the Committee on Rules for further consideration.
