Help Us Get Tyrone Power a Postage Stamp!
We want Tyrone to have a postage stamp for his centenary which is in 2014. This means we have to start pushing the Post Office for a stamp NOW.
We need help from all his fans.
What You Can Do:
Write letters or postcards to:
Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee c/o Stamp Development U.S. Postal Service 1735 North Lynn St., Suite 5013 Arlington, VA 22209-6432
The card or petition should say something like this: "This is to propose (or suggest, nominate) film legend Tyrone Power (1914-1958) for a postage stamp. He served his country in WW II and made many good will tours to other countries on behalf of the U.S. 2014 is the 100th year of his birth. He was a great actor and patriot who deserves to be honored."
Start a petition.
Ask friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to sign a petition - you only need to get anywhere between 5-10 names. More is great! There will be many petitions, hopefully, so you don't need a lot of names. Start the petition with the text above. Ask everyone to sign their name and include their address. Be sure to tell them that ONLY the stamp committee will see the petition and REMIND them that the post office already knows where they live! So their rights are not being infringed in any way! Then send your petition to the same address as above. All petitions should be sent to the post offie committee at the address shown above by May 2011.
Last Resort - The E-Petition
Internet petitions are not as effective because the people who sign them cannot be verified as authentic. I will have an Internet petition as backup only for those who for some reason cannot write a postcard. I don't know what that reason would be, but I'd rather have you do something than nothing. DO NOT SIGN this if you are writing a postcard or signing an actual hard copy of a petition.
We can do this! But not without the help of all of Ty's fans.
THANK YOU in advance! Any questions, please feel free to email me at mariaciaccia@yahoo.com .
