This was sent on to me by Elizabeth's science teacher...

This is one note I'll gladly pass on.  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 $.33 for a stamp, this one costs $.40.  The
>>additional $.07 will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs
>>
>>$6.60.  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.
>>
>>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!!

This is a great idea, I just wonder why our noble govt couldn't put in a
penny or two of THEIR money too?? Gee could we get them to do a breastfeeding
one?
