30% of the profits from the sale
of the Breast Cancer Research postage stamp actually goes
to the Department of Defense and ends up supporting the war!
Don't support the war.
In 2002 the United States started to sell a special postage stamp with a higher than usual cost. The extra money was supposed to support scientific research on breast cancer. That's an important woman's issue that means a lot of votes for pragmatic politicians. The sale of the "semi-postal" stamp (as it's called) was recently extended for two more years. (Already about $15,000,000.00 has been collected from American postal patrons who bought into the government's lie. Don't be a sucker. When the Republican's are in power and hold the purse strings, you WILL be lied to. The profits from the sale of the special stamp are divided between two federal bureaucracies with 30% (3 dollars out of 10) going to the Department of Defense. That money supports the war in Asia. It isn't going toward saving American women's lives. It's going toward killing women, children and men (many thousands of them) in Asia. Research to overcome cancer, all kinds of cancer, is a noble effort. If you really want to aid in the research effort, support the American Cancer Society, 1599 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30329. Don't be taken in by your government's lies. Don't buy a stamp that supports the war. If you want to buy postage stamps
for less than face value, several people sell discount
postage.
