The notion that we could raise $16 million by buying a book of stamps is
powerful!  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 against this disease that kills and
maims so many of our mothers, sisters, friends.
Instead of the normal $.32 for a stamp, this one costs $.40.  The
additional $.08 will go to breast Cancer  research. A "normal" book
costs $6.40.  This one is only $8.00.  It takes a few minutes in line at
the Post Office and means so much.

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 or Rush Hour this weekend. What
a statement it would make that we care.

I urge each of you to do two things TODAY:

  1.      Go out and purchase some of these stamps.

  2.      E-mail your friends to do the same.

Many of us know women and their families whose lives are  turned
upside-down by breast cancer.  It takes so little to do so much in  this
drive.  Please help.
