We, the People of America, are shocked and offended by the short-shrift given to the Richard Milhaus Nixon commemorative stamp. This beautifully executed piece of postage was pulled from the shelves before it ever had a chance to develop a loyal following.
Critics say we should not sell stamps honoring a criminal. Well, why the hell not?! Crooked politicians are a part of our National heritage! The Nixon stamp was the most entertaing and poignant postage ever issued.
Many people refused to buy or make use of Nixon stamps. That is their decision. However, we believe that it is our right as American citizens to be allowed to purchase and make use of Nixon's image for all our postal transactions. If Elvis Presley is good enough for the Post Office, then by all means so is Tricky Dick.
Stand tall, America!
Insist on Tricky Dick!
Let Your voice be heard!
Other commemorative stamps could be issued as part of a comprehensive American History series, including:
The Watergate Building
Former VP / convicted felon Spiro Agnew
Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP)
Fat Elvis getting deputized by President Nixon as an honorary Drug Enforcement Agent
