In my 92 years, I’ve lived through the Great Depression, the polio scare, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. I always had faith that we’d make it through.

Now. I’m worried. Our president, who has been very vocal in his distrust of mail-in balloting, is using his executive power to cripple the United States Postal Service. Our Senate and Congress, regardless of party, must step in to stop this abuse of power.
