I did not write this "But It's A Start - - What do you all think? 

Dear Congressman/Senator _______:

I ask that you contact the U.S. Postal Service and demand that it immediately stop promotion of the Humane Society of the United States through the mail via customized postage stamps. Furthermore, I ask that you demand an amendment to the USPS program, which allows this, so that it does not provide such opportunities for political exploitation in the future.

Earlier this year, Congress amended an 1872 law that forbade advertisements on U.S. currency, including postage stamps. This amendment paved the way for an experimental one-year trial period allowing companies such as Zazzle.com to offer customizable postage stamps via the Internet.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is the largest and most vociferous animal rights organization in the country. Stamps featuring its politically biased, and anti-animal use slogans are available through the website www.zazzle.com. Twenty percent of the profits from the sale of the stamps are given directly back to the Humane Society of the United States.

The part of Zazzle’s site that promotes HSUS stamps includes defamatory statements indicating that America’s farm animals are raised in “terrible” conditions. This section of the site also includes accusatory statements that America’s farm animals are “routinely-abused.” Nothing could be further from the truth. America’s farmers and ranchers have demonstrated lifelong commitment to their animals’ well being. Worse, yet HSUS does not operate a shelter for any sort of animal, even dogs and cats. Nor does it spend any of its estimated $100 million per year budget on farm animal welfare research.

I am proud to help America feed the world and am outraged that the USPS would allow inflammatory content on its postage stamps and on the site selling them. It is unconscionable that the Humane Society of the United States be allowed to profit from the sale of these stamps. I look forward to your response detailing your decision on this matter.

Sincerely,
