Stamp Stampede
Have you heard about the Stamp Stampede?
(Shared weekly to promote a joint campaign-fundraiser with our partner for election law reform.)
Blurb: "Every dollar you stamp will reach 875 people, if you stamp 5 dollars a day for a year, that's over a million. Together, we can create a stampede that Congress can't ignore" — Stamp Stampede.
"By the way, this is all perfectly legal. As our partners at Stamp Stampede have written, 'it’s illegal to destroy paper currency or deface it so much that it’s no longer recognizable and has to be taken out of circulation. But that’s definitely not what we’re up to... Because we all want these bills to stay in circulation and we're stamping to send a message about an issue that's important to us, it's legal!'" — Vince Lamb.
