Dear Friend:

As you may know I have had the honor of being nominated for the Congressional Gold Medal for my work relating to the Breast Cancer Research Stamp (BCRS). In 1996 I lobbied Congress for 2 years to introduce a bill which would allow the United States Postal Service its first-ever fund raising stamp. To date the BCRS through the sales of over 900,000,000 stamps has raised over $80,000,000 for breast cancer research.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier has introduced a new bill, HR 3003, nominating me for the Congressional Gold Medal. I am asking for your support to get this bill passed, not as an honor to me, but rather as a way of further promoting the BCRS in the United States and around the world. By simply writing a short letter to your Congressional Representative asking them to cosponsor HR 3003 this could become a reality. To find the name and address of your representative, click here. Please go to www.Thomas.gov for the full text of the legislation and a list of current cosponsors.
