THE ART OF THE UNITED STATES
POST OFFICE AND ITS STRUGGLE
FOR SURVIVAL
The United States Postal Service was
originated in 1775 during the second
Continental Congress. Benjamin
Franklin was appointed the first Post
Master General. The Post Service Act
created the post office in 1792. In
1872 it was transformed by the Postal
Reorganization Act to a cabinetlevel
department. It was transformed
into an independent agency of the
government as the United States Postal
Service. In recent decades it has been
forced to compete against private
delivery services such as United Parcel
Service, FedEx, and Amazon.
Before stamps were introduced into
the postal service, the recipient of mail
paid the deliverer for the mail received.
The Post Office first became involved
directly in art and promoting artists with
the first stamp designs used in 1847 with
the requirement of adhesive stamps be
used as postage. One of the earliest
stamps featured Ben Franklin as the first
postmaster general Since the late 1800s
over 4000 different stamps have been
designed for the U.S. Postal Service.
Many feature presidents and prominent
figures in society as well as current issues.
Stamp collectors cherish their collection
of U.S. postal stamps, some worth a few
dollars to several thousand dollars.

the Pony Express used routes traveled
by stagecoaches operating at this same
point in history.
During the era of the Great Depression
from the early 1930s into the 1940s the
New Deal legislation aimed at providing
employment for various professions
began granting artists employment by
painting murals at local post offices
throughout the United States. These
murals
became
historical
icons
of the
history
of that
period.
There
were
over 1,400
murals
painted in
postoffices.
Today
there is a movement by the U.S. Post
Office to preserve the murals that are
currently remaining.

Throughout
recent history
during the past
3 decades,
there has been
an effort by
conservative
politicians to privatize the postal service
One of the schemes introduced by
Republican legislators during the
George W. Bush administration was
titled the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act of 2006. This required
the U.S. Post Office to basically prefund
the value of earned retirement
obligations of postal employees for
a fifty-year period. This was for past
retirement promises which had not yet
come due for a ten-year time span.
This was a deliberate scheme to attempt
to bankrupt the U.S. Post Office. The
Enhancement Act of 2006 was passed
by a voice vote prior to a recess. Henry
Waxman at that time a representative
from California who had a mixed bag
of support for a variety of progressive
measures succumbed to the promise
of dark money from UPS and FedX to
provide his vote for this fiasco. The other
California representative to provide
his vote is the former felon involved in
a number of auto theft schemes and
eventually starting a company called
“Steal Stopper” car alarms. Who

etter to design auto theft prevention
devices than an auto thief. Issa’s
other involvements in the House of
Representatives have been to attempt
to prevent any progressive legislation
that is beneficial to the welfare of the
general public.
This attempt to
kill the U.S. Postal
Service was
exaggerated
during the Trump
administration
when Trump
installed Lous
DeJoy as
postmaster general. DeJoy former CEO
and on the board of directors of New
Breed Logistics freight company and
a major Republican Party donor and
fundraiser. He contributed $1.2 million
to Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign.
You would not expect this would have
any influence on his appointment to
postmaster general, especially since
he was on the board of a large logistics
company that had a $300. million
contract with the post office??? It was
demonstrated by the office of Budget
and Planning would have saved the
public $53 million using the post office
delivery services.
DeJoy came in strong and destructive.
The first attempts were to limit the
number of mail-in voters during the 2020
election by decommissioning hundreds
of high-speed mail sorting machines,
removed some mail sorting boxes from
streets. This caused major delays in mail
delivery. This was a deliberate attempt
on the part of Trump to influence the
election in his favor since mail-in ballots
were a favorite of Democratic voters.
Amid pressure from the public and
congress, DeJoy was forced to suspend
most of the changes, and in October
of 2020 the postal service reversed all
of his proposed changes. DeJoy is still
in office??? WHY?? Hopefully soon to
be gone. It just doesn’t seem logical to
have a postmaster general who wants
to eliminate the post office!

The art of the USPS locally only one
mural was found on the building at the
North Palm Springs post office a mural
reflecting the desert environment with
a coyote and cactus with mountains
on the horizon and a hint of wind
turbines against the mountains. No
information of the date of the mural or
the artist. The age of the mural is not
known probably several decades by the
condito.
This mural can be seen on the east wall
of the post office on Dillon Road about 1
block east of N. Indian Canyon.
