Timm Kopp, a letter carrier from Marshfield, grew concerned that postal workers were allowed to take time off work to campaign for their unions' preferred Democratic Party candidates, causing staff shortages.

It is near impossible to fire anyone who works for a Government Agency. NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.

They probably got paid for time off but not by the postal service. Can anyone say postal workers union? How about a rule change that says a postal employee cannot take any unpaid time off until they have exhausted their paid leave including all accumulated allowable carry-over time—problem solved.

Will she or will she not win in 18’? Johnson proved a conservative can win. It starts with Walker.

Was the complaint sent by surface mail?

The non-response may be explainable: Lost in the mail.

Looks like it is also near impossible to get Demoncrats to investigate the election fraud that keeps them in power.
