Subject: Thank you for co-sponsoring S. 1457

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am a letter carrier who lives and works in your district, and I am writing to thank you for your co-sponsoring S. 1457, the Mail Delivery Protection Act. With your help, Congress can stop the United States Postal Service's backdoor attempt to privatize mail delivery through the use of Contract Delivery Service. Thank you again for your support.
