Wouldn't it be great if the USPS put out a TM stamp ?? Let's get those
suggestions into the USPS.. forms are always on the counter for suggestions
for new stamps.. Let's contact Christopher Reeve to see if he will get behind
this also... STAMP OUT ignorance that so many people have about TM also..
thought this was worth putting out., What doyou think?As you may be aware, the
U.S. Postal Service recently released its new "Fund
>the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed
>by
>Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand
>and show our outrage against this disease that kills and maims so many of
>our mothers, sisters, and friends.
>Instead of the normal $.32 for a stamp, this one costs $.40. The additional
>$.08 will go to breast cancer research. If all stamps are sold, it will
>raise
>an additional $16,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the
>money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold
>the
>lottery this week or outsold tickets to Saving Private Ryan this weekend or
>the
>purchase of the Titanic video. What a statement it would make that we care.
>I
>urge each of you to do two things
>TODAY. Not tomorrow ... but today.
>1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.
>2. E-mail, call, whatever it take-get your friends to do the same.
>
>Forward this to all you know, including the men. After all, not only is it
>the women who are affected by this disease, but the men as well because it
>can affect the women in their lives. I also have a male friend who had
>breast cancer so this is NOT a disease just for women.
