Whereas, on January 22, 1973, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that abortion was a right secured by the Constitution of the United States; Whereas, on June 24, 2022, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v.

Trump and Vice President J.D.

Whereas antiabortion extremists are desperate to ban abortion nationwide and are trying to misuse a centuries-old zombie law to achieve their goals; Whereas there is a settled understanding of the Comstock Act for nearly a century, and the Department of Justice, the courts, and Congress have made clear that the Comstock laws do not apply to lawful abortions; Whereas the majority of the public supports abortion access, and an overwhelming majority of Americans (80 percent) oppose a Federal law banning abortion nationwide; Whereas antiabortion extremists are waging a war on reproductive rights, including the ability to make personal, private health care decisions; Whereas misusing, misapplying, and misinterpreting the Comstock Act would be yet another attempt to attack access to medication abortion, a safe and effective health care option; Whereas misusing, misapplying, and misinterpreting the Comstock Act could threaten certain shipping and transportation of basic medical materials; and Whereas misusing, misapplying, and misinterpreting the Comstock Act could further threaten and endanger sexual and reproductive health: Now, therefore, be it

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., proclaimed that a great source of inspiration to him personally was India’s pre-eminent freedom fighter, Mahatma Gandhi, and his teachings of nonviolent civil disobedience originating in Hindu philosophy positively impacted America’s civil-rights movement, which resulted in greater racial equality and enfranchisement for all peoples in the United States; Whereas, despite their positive contributions to the United States, Hindu Americans face stereotypes and disinformation about their heritage and symbols, and have been the targets of bullying in schools and on college campuses, as well as discrimination, hate speech, and bias-motivated crimes; and Whereas, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Hate Crimes Statistics Report, anti-Hindu hate crimes targeting mandirs and persons are annually on the rise while in parallel, Hinduphobia in American society is unfortunately rising: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the United States Postal Service is a constitutionally mandated service per article I, section 8, clause 7 of the Constitution; Whereas the United States Postal Service is a self-sustaining, independent establishment that does not receive taxpayer funding and relies solely on revenue derived from the sale of postal services and products; Whereas the United States Postal Service and its more than 630,000 employees are at the center of the $1,900,000,000,000 mailing industry, employing more than 7,900,000 Americans; Whereas the United States Postal Service serves the needs of customers at more than 168,000,000 business and residential addresses every day, maintains an affordable and universal network, and connects the country’s rural, suburban, and urban communities; Whereas the United States Postal Service is consistently the highest rated agency of the Federal Government in nonpartisan opinion polls; Whereas the United States Postal Service employs nearly 73,000 military veterans and is one of the largest employers of veterans in the Nation; Whereas postal employees are dedicated public servants who do more than process and deliver the Nation’s mail, they serve as the eyes and ears of the Nation’s communities and often respond first in situations involving health, safety, and crime in their communities; Whereas privatization of the United States Postal Service would result in higher prices and reduced services for its customers, especially in rural communities; and Whereas privatization of the United States Postal Service would jeopardize the booming e-commerce sector and cripple a major part of the Nation’s critical infrastructure: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure that the United States Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government and not subject to privatization.
