• Displaying a partisan political bumper sticker is political activity, but a Postal Service employee may park his or her personal vehicle with one standard size bumper sticker or magnet in a postal lot or garage without violating the Hatch Act.
• If a Postal Service employee uses his or her personal vehicle for postal business, he or she must cover the partisan political bumper sticker or remove the magnet during the time the vehicle is used for postal business.

A postal parking lot full of vehicles with partisan political bumper stickers may offend some of our customers. Keeping your political views to yourself is smart business.

• The Hatch Act prohibits a Postal Service employee from hosting a political fundraiser, inviting anyone to a political fundraiser, or collecting contributions to a political fundraiser for a partisan political party, candidate, or group.
• Don’t engage in partisan political fundraising on or off the clock at work or at home.

Media stories about postal employees violating the Hatch Act undermine the public’s trust and confidence in the Postal Service. Customers ship with us because they trust us. Maintaining the public’s trust is smart business.
