GREENSBORO, NC – Well, only in 2020,
right?
On Sunday, more than 100 demonstrators took to the streets below
the mansion of the postmaster general to protest the cutbacks,
delays, and other recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service that
have created grave concerns for many about the mail-in voting
scheme for the November presidential election.

ABC News
reported that protesters gathered for nearly two hours outside
of Louis DeJoy’s gated property. Demonstrators work Ocasio-Cortez
shirts and chanted loudly, holding signs that read “Sabotage of
the USPS is un-American” and “Save USPS.”
Some states use “drop
boxes” for the collection of Universal Mail-In Ballots. So who is
going to “collect” the Ballots, and what might be done to them
prior to tabulation? A Rigged Election? So bad for our Country.
Only Absentee Ballots acceptable!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

The protest comes after Democrat claims that the Trump
administration is trying to interfere with the vote-by-mail scheme
in the 2020 presidential election that some argue is aimed at
destroying democracy.

Protestors chanted, “This is what democracy looks like” as
they flooded the DeJoy’s neighborhood, which overlooks the
Greensboro Country Club golf course. Their
loud protests disrupted the Wyndham Championship that was
talking place on the golf course. Protester Jim Mencius said in a
statement:
“We need to keep the pressure on. We need to make some
good trouble. The president has said he wants to cripple the post
office.”
The Postal Service warned states last week that if could not
guarantee all ballots cast by mail would arrive in time to be
counted, even if mailed by the deadlines.
On Saturday morning, protesters also gathered outside of
DeJoy’s apartment building in Washington for a similar
protest.
Protesters held signs that read, “Don’t mess with the
USPS†and “Don’t stamp out our democracy.†It is unclear if
DeJoy was at either home during either of the demonstrations. DeJoy
is a Republican fundraiser and a major donor that was named to lead
the Postal Service back in May.

Demonstrators blew airhorns and banged pots as a few of them
walked to the front door of DeJoy’s apartment and pinned fake
ballots to his front door. Protesters continued to accuse him and
the White House for working together to
undermine mail-in ballots and the election.
Protesters chanted:
“Hey, hey Louis DeJoy, the Postal Service is not your
toy!â€
Shutdown D.C., the group that helped organize the protest said
that they decided to make a bunch of noise outside DeJoy’s
apartment and home to provide a wake-up call to him. The group said
in a statement:
“During a global pandemic, the post service is
essential to democracy. Postal workers are literally delivering
democracy by safely delivering Americans’ votes. And Trump
appointed DeJoy, a logistics executive to gut the safest and most
accessible way to vote.â€
Over the weekend, there were talks about the in-recess House to
possible return to Washington to respond to the postal crisis.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) called on DeJoy
to resign. He said:
“The Postmaster General must resign. He’s slowed
delivery, banned overtime, and decommissioned mail-sorting machines
right before an election and during a pandemic.â€
He added:
“The House must demand answers. Hearings should start
now. It can’t wait. We won’t let Trump destroy the Post
Office.â€
Of course this is the same guy who left with his buddies without
passing financial support for Americans desperately struggling with
devastating job losses.
Democrats Schedule ‘Urgent
Hearing‘ on ‘Postal Service Sabotage‘ https://t.co/CBvjRs31I2 via @BreitbartNewsPelosi is worried about people voting by mail. They are already
voting with their protests. That is the only means of protest the
democrats taught them. The communist way.— David (@daveyboy32238)

In his efforts to dismiss the questions about whether DeJoy has
been intentionally trying to delay mail delivery the last several
months, Trump said:
“DeJoy is just trying to streamline the post office
and make it great again.â€
The U.S. Post Office (System)
has been failing for many decades. We simply want to MAKE THE POST
OFFICE GREAT AGAIN, while at the same time saving billions of
dollars a year for American Taxpayers. Dems don’t have a clue!

Numerous states recently received letters from the Postal
Service warning them that the agency that oversees mail in the U.S.
will not be able to fulfill requests for mail-in ballots in time
for the November election.
Today, @SenSchumer,
@RepMaloney
& @SenGaryPeters
join me in an urgent call for Postmaster General DeJoy and @USPS Board of
Governors Chair Duncan to testify before the Congress. https://t.co/U1Jg03vaKd— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi)
August 16, 2020
Out of 50 states, so far 18, including swing states like
Arizona, Florida, and Michigan shared that they received the
letters. Vermont, Wisconsin, and Kentucky said they did not receive
a warning from the USPS.
Trump said in a statement:
“Now, if we don’t make a deal, then that means they
don’t get the money. That means they can’t have universal
main-in voting. They just can’t have it.â€
DeJoy came out with his own set of proposals that would continue
to delay the mail. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) said that:
“These changes won’t just disenfranchise voters. It
will hurt our seniors, our veterans, others that depend on their
medications by mail, their packages, and other deliveries. And
these delays are also happening across our country.â€
Since his leadership began there has been a nationwide outcry
over postal delays and cutbacks just as millions of Americans
prepare to vote by mail to avoid polling places during the
coronavirus pandemic. As of this writing, the Postal Service has
not responded to any news outlets’ requests for comment.
Check out this article from Law Enforcement Today about the
Democrats and their cry for mail-in voting:
WASHINGTON, D.C.- Congressional Democrats are
pushing mail-in voting and they want it—desperately.
Just as they oppose mandatory voter identification, it is pretty
easy to understand why they otherwise embrace vote by mail…fraud.
Democrats do not care who votes, be it illegals, dead people,
whatever. As long as it adds up to votes for them, they do not
care.
Of course, the current COVID-19 pandemic presents Democrats with
the perfect excuse to push for mail in voting—it’s all about
“safety.â€
Last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi came down from her throne in her
oceanfront mansion near San Francisco to say that she was looking
to “virus-proof†the November election by including more money
for vote-by-mail in upcoming relief packages.
Because nothing puts people back to work and food on their table
like spending money on vote by mail schemes.
According to
Reuters, Pelosi is seeking a minimum of $2 billion dollars,
“ideally†$4 billion according to Nancy in order to enable
voting by mail.
The Democrats were already able to squeeze $400 million for that
purpose in the initial $2.3 trillion bill signed a few weeks
ago.
So, while small businesses continued to wait for funds from a
subsequent relief bill, we wasted $400 million to help the
Democrats attempt to steal the November election.
Pelosi said, “Vote by mail is so important to…our
democracy to that people have access to voting and not be deterred,
especially at this time, by the admonition to stay
home.â€
Okay, it’s April. The election is seven months away. Not for
nothing but if we can go to the grocery store NOW, with maintaining
social distancing, what prevents people from doing that in November
when this thing should hopefully be somewhat of a distant
memory?
Last Friday, Pelosi was on
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, in which she said that she
would be seeking “much more†than the initial $400 million. She
is seeking to have “every person registered to vote†receive a
ballot at home.
Mitchell asked Pelosi what her opinion was as to the president
not being in favor of the Democrats’ “steal the electionâ€
scheme.
“The post office has over 90 percent favorability
among the American people. They depend on the post office as a
public institution.
Seniors now are getting—they have always been getting
their medicine by mail for a long time now and now even more
urgently.
People are buying things that are telemarketing and the
rest, and they’re being delivered by the post office (she’s
apparently never heard of UPS, FedEx, or Amazon
Prime).
“So, at this time, any time, it’s a bad idea. It’s
what they’re about, privatization, privatization, privatization.
Let someone else go make money off someone that should be a public
service for the American people.
We will have to have that fight, tried to get funding
for the post office in the CARES one bill. We had some money in a
bipartisan way, but the president I understand personally rejected
it.â€
Good Lord, have you ever heard a more disorganized plethora of
unintelligible mumbo-jumbo in your life? She continued:
“Let me tell you another reason he might be against
it. We have to save the lives and livelihood of the American
people. We also have to save our liberty, the life of our
democracy.
Voting by mail is central to this in any event, but at
the time of the coronavirus, very essential. We had $400 million in
CARES one. We have to have much more than that in CARES two so
people can vote by mail.â€
So, let’s get this straight. We have been conducting elections
in this country for nearly 250 years without having to do it by
mail to “save our liberty, the life of our democracy,†but NOW
we have to? Oh yes, that’s right—“Never let a crisis go to
waste.â€
You see, with Democrats like Pelosi, it’s always about an
agenda. It’s not about getting money to small businesses, to the
American people to help them try to navigate this
government-mandated shutdown of our economy.
They are looking at this as an opportunity to fulfill the goal
of people like George Soros, one of the major funders of the
Democrat party, to fundamentally change the country.
Soros and his followers have been trying to get their hands into
our election system for years. And they have more than willing
participants, like Pelosi and the Democrats, to carry it out.
Nancy continued:
“When the Supreme Court acting like party hacks said
that the state of Wisconsin had to vote on that day and limited the
importance of voting by mail, they were doing a Republican agenda
(because following the Constitution is a “Republican agendaâ€),
but the fact is that having those people vote at that time was as
if we invited them all to the Mardi Gras, probably caused more
infections.
“People were standing in line for a very long time,
keeping social distancing, but nonetheless having to be out when
they should be home.
This issue of vote-by-mail and also saying every person
registered to vote should receive a ballot and that we should have
same-day registration for those who have not registered to vote.
Opening the process, this is what our country is about, the vote,
the sacred right to vote.
“I’m a former state chair of the party, and our
purpose was always to remove obstacles for participation, whether
they were Democrats, Republicans, independents or whatever they
were.â€
The initial $400 million in the first relief bill was intended
to assist state and local officials increase vote by mail and early
voting, expand facilities and hire more poll workers.
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy noted that, “Changing
election laws have nothing to do with our war against the
disease.â€
The Hill reported that Pelosi had said a couple of weeks ago
that, “We have a different value system about what voting means
to a democracy. Clearly we want to remove all obstacles to
participation.â€
No, what Democrats want is an abusive free-for-all, no holds
barred cluster.
For his part, President Trump is opposed to any vote-by-mail
scheme, calling the idea a “politically-motivated power
grab.â€
“They grab thousands of mail-in ballots, and they dump
it,†the President told reporters two weeks ago. He said that
such schemes don’t “work out for Republicans.â€
In speaking to the initial Democratic proposals in the first aid
package, Trump told Fox and Friends:
“The things they had in there were crazy. Thy had things,
levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never
have a Republican elected in this country again.â€
And apparently, the American people don’t have a lot of
confidence in the Democrats’ vote by mail scheme. According to
Breitbart, a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports of 1,000
voters showed that 58 percent of Americans are concerned about a
spike in voter fraud if nationwide mail-in balloting were
implemented for the November elections.
In the poll, 36 percent of Americans said they were “very
concerned†about more voter fraud due to mail-in voting, with 22
percent saying they were “somewhat concerned,†while 39 percent
said they were not concerned that mail-in voting will lead to more
fraud.
Along party lines, nearly 80 percent of Republican voters said
they are concerned about more fraud, along with more than half of
so-called “swing†voters. A majority of Democrats, 53 percent,
remain unconcerned with voter fraud.
Along class lines, working and middle-class Americans remain
more concerned with voter fraud than wealthier Americans.

The plan for nationwide mail-in voting is being
funded by organizations funded by the afore-mentioned George
Soros. That should tell you all you need to know about this
Democratic voter fraud scheme.
