The USPS DeCommercialization Act

Date Published: April 18, 2025 ***previously published on LinkedIn.com/in/killianyates

By: Killian Yates, Founder, Bald Eagle Party

Statement of Purpose

This Act restores the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a secure, efficient, and constitutionally-anchored institution dedicated to public service—not profit. It dismantles corporate entanglements, restores pre-2020 service benchmarks, slashes Forever Stamp costs to $0.50, and mandates full operational stabilization within 90 days of enactment.

Key Provisions

1. National Service Restoration Mandate (15–30 Days)

All USPS services must return to pre-Delivering for America benchmarks, including First-Class mail delivery within 1–3 days nationwide. All service delays, route consolidations, and facility closures implemented after 2020 shall be immediately reversed or re-staffed.

2. Forever Stamp Price Rollback

The cost of a Forever Stamp shall be reduced to $0.50 within 15 days of passage. Operational shortfalls shall be made up through cost reform, corruption cleanup, and reallocation of non-essential USPS contracts—not by price gouging citizens.

3. Emergency Audit and Liquidation of Commercial Partnerships

An immediate 15-day audit of all commercial pilot programs and third-party deals shall be conducted. Any contract failing to directly benefit public service, rural access, or data integrity shall be terminated. Commercial real estate and retail space not used for core postal operations shall be divested.

4. Ban on Data Harvesting & Surveillance

USPS shall be forbidden from using or licensing customer data for behavioral analytics, surveillance partnerships, or marketing algorithms. Informed Delivery may continue only in opt-in, privacy-compliant formats.

5. 90-Day Budget Stabilization Plan

The USPS shall submit a cost-neutral operational plan within 30 days and achieve financial break-even within 90 days, without layoffs or service cuts. Funding shall come from rescinded contracts, excess property liquidation, internal fraud enforcement, and bulk rate pricing reform.

6. Postal Worker Protection & Civil Oversight

All labor protections for USPS workers will be preserved. A new Civil Postal Oversight Council will be formed to include employee union reps, data security experts, and rural service advocates. All Council decisions shall be public and archived online.

7. Constitutionally Protected Status

This Act codifies USPS as a public, constitutional institution immune from privatization or corporate governance structures. Congress shall no longer refer to USPS as a “self-sustaining business entity,” but as a civic utility.

Reform Timeline

  • Day 0: Act becomes law. USPS leadership suspended pending audit.
  • Day 1–15: Service standards restored; $0.50 Forever Stamp enacted; non-essential contracts frozen.
  • Day 16–30: Termination and wind-down of commercial pilots; divestment of retail expansions; launch of Oversight Council.
  • Day 31–90: Budget balancing through audits, asset recovery, and supply chain reforms. Public reports issued every 30 days.

Conclusion

Americans do not owe their postal system to hedge funds or marketing departments. They owe it to the generations who built this nation on trust, access, and service. The USPS DeCommercialization Act restores what was stolen under the guise of modernization and demands accountability from those who sold out our civic institutions. We are done waiting. Let’s deliver.

Threats United States national security and space dominance

Threat Analysis: The Strategic Risks of Japan/India/UK Space Capabilities on U.S. Military Space Assets and National Security Killian H. Yates | Sunday, February 23, 2025 www.LinkedIn.com/in/KillianYates United States of America Executive Summary Japan’s advancements in space debris removal technologies—especially through initiatives like Astroscale and JAXA’s Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration (CRD2) program—pose a dual-use risk to U.S. military assets in space. While these capabilities are publicly focused on maintaining space sustainability, their precision and operational flexibility could be repurposed to undermine U.S. space dominance. This paper explores the specific threats these technologies pose to U.S. military space infrastructure and examines the strategic implications of a potential shift in space power dynamics. 1.
