Have you seen the new Forever Postage Stamps?

[Sheepshank]

Equality!!!!!

[MineralMan]

1. Make it so!

That is all.

[elleng]

2. And freedom, liberty and justice!

Very cool!

[Sheepshank]

3. So maybe it WAS all in concert :) n/t

[crazylikafox]

4. Beautiful! But has FOX started complaining about them yet?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Oh, wow, those are great!

I am so pleased to see these!

Thank you for bringing them to our attention, my dear Sheepshank...

[Sheepshank]

6. I don't get called "my dear" very often

feels nice...thanks

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I like to call my friends "my dear"...

[gateley]

8. Peggy is the dearest of them all. nnt

[SmileyRose]

18. +1

[longship]

9. They omitted "USPS Forever"

Ben Franklin would be horrified by today's Republican Party.

[RC]

12. He wouldn't be too enthralled with the Democrats either.

Can't we have a "Forever" stamp that is not patriotic? Something inclusive of everyone and not just RA-RA, RA. USA, USA, USA!
A scenic view of a Sun Rise or something depicting of people actually getting along together.









Well, OK, maybe one Patriotic picture is ripe for the Forever Stamp.


Lots of images can be on a Forever stamp. Surely, we as a country can do better than Nationalism on everything. We need to start somewhere.

[LuckyLib]

16. LOL! Forgot how funny that photo is. Would also be appropo

for Chimpy and Cheney, war criminals one and all!

[Curmudgeoness]

20. Actually, all stamps are Forever stamps now.

The Christmas stamps I bought were, and I also bought Love stamps that are forever stamps. I had quit buying patriotic stamps when Shrub and the Evil One got elected, so I am grateful to get Forever stamps in other themes.

10. I already saw these stamps.

Super Postal Man wore a uniform made of them in the Avengers movie. Unfortunately, he wasn't in the movie long, as Loki mailed him.

[3waygeek]

11. Well, that does explain why the Rethugs

are trying to destroy the USPS.

[alfredo]

13. They want to destroy the largest employer of veterans and minorities.

[obxhead]

21. That's not their primary cause.

They want to end one of the largest and widespread unions in the US.

[alfredo]

22. Yes, defund the Democratic party by destroying unions. It also hurts our street game by

busting one of best pool of street level activist.

[LoisB]

14. Bought a roll yesterday

[Bruce Wayne]

15. Should the USPS take such a partisan stance against the Republican Party?

This is a blatant attack on everything the Republicans stand for. They might as well have printed up "Protect our natural resources... Forever" or "Stop kicking orphans... Forever" or "Be logical and fair-minded... Forever." The Post Office should stay neutral on these topics and treat both sides of the controversy equally. You know, just like the major news networks do.

[russspeakeasy]

17. Well put.

[Doctor_J]

29. What?

Have you ever seen a Repuke without a flag pin? Heard a Repuke utter 2 sentences without using the word "freedom"?

[Bruce Wayne]

30. Well, sure they *talk* about Freedom.

But then again, Republicans talk a lot about "balancing the budget" and "personal responsibility" and "reducing the size of the government" and "getting tough on al-Qaeda." Hell, I've even heard a few of them talk about "preserving the Bill of Rights." That doesn't mean they'll actually do anything about it.

Oh, those loveable scamps...

[Plucketeer]

26. Good question!

One more bit of evidence why the GOP would like to sell out the postal service to private interests.

Wonder what a privatized postal system's stamps would look like???

"Forever"? Nope - "Rate good thru the end of this week"

Maybe the Don't tread on me flag with slogans like "The one percent" "Liberty and Justice for those who can afford it" "Live free or go back to where you came from!"

[Sheepshank]

27. "Civil Rights for ALL" was just too long.

How can anyone not claim "Equality" in the context of the other stamps that proclaims Freedom, Liberty and Justice?

[HiPointDem]

19. funny, as we have neither equality, freedom or liberty.

not to mention that the post office and its pesky union is being phased out of business, despite being enumerated in the Constitution.

freedom!

[donheld]

23. Where's the one for War?

[FLSurfer]

24. I wonder how the U. S. flag code squares

with the flag's image being pasted onto envelopes everyday?

[Art_from_Ark]

31. Considering that the US issued its first flag stamp in 1869,

and has issued flag stamps on a regular basis since 1957, I would think that the US flag code doesn't have a problem with flag stamps.

[JohnnyRingo]

25. I had to look more closely at the lower right corner

That isn't an asterisk, it says "2012".
Must mean for everyone.

Having said that, I don't use the forever stamps. I live across the street from the PO, and I enjoy buying a sheet of whatever the latest cool stamp is when they come out.

[ellisonz]

28. Nice.
