SR 11 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Celebrates 250th anniversary of United States Postal Service.

This resolution (SR 11) celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service (USPS), established in 1775. It highlights the USPS's historical role - from Benjamin Franklin's appointment as first Postmaster General to its current operation of over 31,000 post offices serving 342 million Americans - and emphasizes its public service mission, including universal mail delivery, 1.9 billion miles of annual service, and 500,000+ employees. The resolution urges Congress to protect USPS as a public institution, noting threats of privatization could lead to job losses and higher costs. As a ceremonial resolution (not a law), it has no binding effect but aims to affirm USPS's importance to communities nationwide.
