Americans will soon be seeing acclaimed musicians, sports stars, writers, artists and other nationally known figures on U.S. postage stamps — while they are still alive. The Postal Service is dropping a rule that requires an individual to be deceased for at least five years before being honored on a stamp. Under the new guidelines, living or recently deceased individuals could be eligible for commemoration on a stamp as soon as next year, and we want your input. Your suggestions will be reviewed by the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, the group responsible for recommending stamp subjects to the Postmaster General. To read more about CSAC and the stamp selection process, and to view the current selection criteria, visit the USPS website. We want our stamp program to be relevant and engaging — a program that reflects the best of our nation. To do that, we need your feedback and support. Help us decide which stamps will most interest you.

Sorry, Dorin...They finally listened to ME, not you. The poor guys at the post office had to hear over and over again how much money they were losing because of this - and how much money they could have made if they had come out with Michael Jackson stamps right after his death. They finally got sick of my lectures and decided to give in and shut me up.
