> >> mothers, sisters, friends. Instead of the normal $.33 for a stamp, this
> >> one costs $.40. The additional $.07 will go to breast cancer research.
> >> A "normal" book costs $6.60. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few

> >> Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would

> >I urge each of you to do two things TODAY:
> >> 1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.
> >> 2. E-mail your friends to do the same.
> >> Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned
