Yesterday, I posted my first diary entry to spread the good word about the first official US postage stamp with a clear anti-war / Bring The Troops Home Now message. Well, it did not take the right wing long to begin their mean-spirited and tasteless attacks on the stamp itself. There appears to be a campaign to launch their own pro-war, militaristic version of the peace stamp.
Here is the URL of the wingnuts that disparage the honor of both our veterans and the victims of 9/11. If you do not feel the same gut wrenching disgust I feel, I will be lost for words.

We can all band together to fight back with honor and grace against these shameless acts.
Please support our peace and anti-war effort and buy the stamps from either URL:

Giving voice to the majority of Americans who now support the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, "Bring Them Home Now!" has created a $.39 cent postage (approved & licensed by the US Postal Service!).
The stamp features the symbol of the growing "Bring 'Em Home Now!" movement - a yellow ribbon transposed over a peace sign - providing millions of Americans with a unique way to show their support for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
Take the pledge to send in your tax returns with the "Bring 'Em Home Now!" stamp and let the government (and everyone else) know where you stand -- and at the same time donate funds to the peace movement.
All proceeds from the sale of the stamps (as well as t-shirts, buttons & stickers featuring the popular "Bring 'Em Home Now!" designs) benefit citizen groups working hard to end the war and bring our troops safely home, including Military Families Speak Out , Gold Star Families for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Veterans for Peace.
By participating, you proudly say: "I support the troops. Let's bring them home now! And let's take care of them when they get here."
Thanks for your support.
