Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to make baby food manufacturers get the heavy metals out of their foods and allow our Postal Service to do more than just deliver packages. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Civic Shout helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass legislation requiring that baby food manufacturing corporations test all their products for heavy metals before they go on the market. The state of California has done just that, and California is a big enough economy – eighth largest in the world if it were its own country, last I heard – that baby food manufacturing corporations will wind up doing a lot more testing, but really, we shouldn’t punish babies in Wyoming and Nebraska just because their Congressfolk wouldn’t think to do this. Too much baby food has arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury in it these days, and it shouldn’t be a tough thing even for a drama-hound Republican to demand better.
Save the Post Office helps you tell your Congressfolk to repeal the law that prevents our Postal Service from offering new services such as postal banking. The Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 allows our Postal Service to offer some licensing services, but our Postal Service could do so much better if we didn’t tie their hands – they could sell public transportation tickets, offer wi-fi in parking lots, host electric vehicle charging stations, and check on seniors, all in addition to the basic banking services that would sure help out those folks in rural and urban areas where banksters don’t even want to go. This vision is a much, much better vision than Postmaster DeJoy’s “vision” of fewer jobs, higher prices, and worse service. It’s the kind of crap vision only a worthless CEO could come up with, and we’re better than CEOs.
