>Instead of the normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs 40 cents The
>additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research A "normal" book costs
>$7.40. 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 $35,000,000 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 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. 
>We can all afford the $0.60. Please help & pass it on.
