PaLC's proposal for a U.S. commemorative stamp to urge
the pet-owning public
to "Spay or Neuter--Save a Life" has passed the Citizens' Stamp Advisory
Committee and is now being considered by Postmaster General William
Henderson! Since PaLC launched its Pet Overpopulation STAMP OUT in
September 1997, the U.S. Postal Service has received THOUSANDS of
letters
of support from humane groups, veterinary medical associations and
colleges,
celebrities (Bob Barker; Betty White; Tony La Russa; Olympic triathlete
Eric
Harr; author and founder of EARTH 2000, Danny Seo), philatelists, and
animal-
lovers throughout the nation. (The Postmaster typically announces new
commemorative stamps in the fall of each year; the average print release
is 80
MILLION.)
We're three-quarters of the way to reaching our goal!
Now, more than ever
before, we need to keep the STAMP OUT's momentum high. Please direct
your
requests for a SPAY/NEUTER stamp to:
William J. Henderson, Postmaster General
c/o Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee
United States Postal Service
475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Room 4474E
Washington, DC 20260-2437.
