46 cent Forever Stamp
« on: September 29, 2012, 07:42:32 am »



Apparently they think that putting hearts and butterflies on the new stamp Will make most people not realize that the rest is Arabic and probably Not something we want to support.

New Stamp - The second MUSLIM one!!!


USPS New 46-Cent Stamp Celebrates a Muslim holiday.
If there is only ONE thing you Forward today... Let it be this!

 President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service To REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with A new commemorative 46 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.

REMEMBERAdamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, If/when you purchase stamps at a post office.

 All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want A Muslim Stamp on my letters!"
The Flag of the USA Has always been my favorite.

Pass this along to every
Patriotic American you know
 Get the word out!
Honor the United States of America !

I love America but I also love tolerance and accepting different cultures and beliefs. Muslims are not our enemy. Enemies and terrorists can take any form and are not confined by one belief system.According to wikipedia there are 1.62 billion adherents to the Muslim faith which makes it the second largest religion world wide.  Don't hate a whole group of people based on the action of a few or you would hate everyone in the world.

I do not have the same beliefs and I probably won't buy the stamps (I don't need any right now), but I surely won't boycott this.  As to preference, however, with stamps I probably would choose something more neutral as I don't want to offend others.

I don't buy stamps since I pay all my bills online or from my phone.

well since I have not seen the new forever stamp...
I have no comment on this.

I will say... I have friends of many nationalities... and I do not judge them by that.
For my opinion is.. it doesn't matter what nationality you are to be a good person... or a horrible person.

Just saying.....

It is a specialty stamp.  Chances are you'll never see one unless a right wing nut like Sean Hannity shows it to you as an example of Obama supposedly trying to indoctrinate us as Muslims despite the fact that Bush issued the first Eid stamp in '01.

I'm sort of sick of all this bigotry when it comes to things like this.

When about Islamic people who would love to purchase such a stamp? Do they NOT get something they would like?

Paying everything online is much easier. The only time I will use stamps is when I mail out rebates.
