Archives for posts with tag: Put Liberace on a Stamp

Exciting new changes were announced today via the United States Postal service to allow for honoring both living celebrities, and allowing the public to submit electronic suggestions for stamps. 

You can tweet, or submit suggestions via Facebook. 

Yet the most effective is to submit an online petition to the White House using WhiteHouse.gov.

The White House guarantees official action on this request IF we get 5,000 online signatures by October 26, 2011!

So please get the word out to get this petition signed so that Liberace will FINALLY be honored on a postage stamp!

Sign the Petition Today!
