Mayor Lightfoot, Governor Pritzker, Congressman Rush, and our other leaders: Today you MUST assign our Illinois National Guard to deliver the US Mail into the post-office-areas of Chicago, which otherwise WILL NOT GET THEIR MAIL TODAY.

This is such a simple decision ... one wonders what our leaders are thinking, when they are allowing tens of thousands of undelivered pieces of mail (including life-sustaining prescriptions, and essential checks) ... to remain undelivered. Several Post Offices in Chicago ... have no staff to deliver the mail today.

LET'S STOP THE LACK OF LEADERSHIP AND GET OUR MAIL DELIVERED!!
