Just got this from the Susan G. Komen foundation, so I'm passing it along. I honestly cannot see Congress not renewing the Breast Cancer Stamp, but hey, it couldn't hurt to make your voice heard on the issue.
Dear Nikki:
Over 773 million stamps sold.
More than $55.5 million raised for breast cancer research.
Don't let Congress take it away.
As a Champion for the Cure, you know we fight the battle against breast cancer on many fronts. We often turn to you for help in passing legislation or obtaining key funding for cancer detection and treatment. But in the fight against breast cancer, not every step forward happens on Capitol Hill.
Sometimes it's as simple as mailing a letter.
The ground-breaking Breast Cancer Research Stamp was introduced in 1998 - and it's since become the top-selling commemorative postal stamp in U.S. history, raising more than $55.5 million for breast cancer research.
But right now, the stamp is facing a battle of its own. If Congress fails to authorize it this year - or make it permanent - the U.S. Postal Service will stop making it and we'll lose one of our best resources for innovative cancer research funding.
Write your members of Congress today, urging them to keep the Breast Cancer Research Stamp alive by co-sponsoring the Breast Cancer Reauthorization Act.
It's clear that the American people love the Breast Cancer Research Stamp. It offers us all an easy way to become an everyday hero in the battle against breast cancer - when we're paying our bills, sending holiday greetings, or mailing a birthday card to a loved one. The program is working - so why would Congress just let it slip away?
Luckily, Congressmen Joe Baca (D-CA) and William Lacy Clay (D-MO) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) have taken the lead by introducing legislation that will keep this stamp in your local post office. But they need YOUR legislators to join them!
Don't let the Breast Cancer Research Stamp disappear! Tell your legislators to support the Breast Cancer Reauthorization Act today.
Thank you for standing up for this convenient and effective way to fund the innovative research that will one day save thousands of lives.
