>Congressman Vic Fazio (Dem. CA) and forty-two other members have submitted 
>Bill H.R. 3401 which  would authorize the Postal Service to issue a
>voluntary postal stamp for 33 cents, the extra penny going to breast
>cancer research.  This could raise hundreds of millions. We also need to
get the active and bipartisan support of the First Family, Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and other Congressional leaders
>through a national petition campaign.

What can you get for one cent today?  Possibly a better detection and cure
for breast cancer.  This is not a tax and purchase of the stamp is strictly
voluntary by the public.

Every fifteen minutes there are five new diagnoses for breast cancer and
every three minutes somebody dies of this disease in the world.

>As a breast cancer survivor, I am personally supporting Dr. Ernie Bodai's
efforts for this stamp by circulating petitions  and ask you to do the
same in Florida by contacting me for more more details.
