Be proud to be a Hindu - Diwali Stamp petition
இது இன்று கனடாவிலே வாழ்கின்ற இலங்கைத்தமிழ்நண்பர் ஒருவர் அனுப்பியது.
"இதுகுறித்து எதுவிதமான கருத்தும் சொல்லவிரும்பவில்லை" என்பதே என் கருத்து.
[இந்த முறையிடுதலிலே கையொப்பம் இட்டவர்களிலே எத்தனை பேர் ஜெயேந்திரர்/விஜயேந்திரர் விடுதலை குறித்த முறையிடுதலிலும் கையொப்பம் இட்டிருப்பார்கள் என்ற வேண்டாத யோசனை வேறு இந்தக்கணத்திலே தோன்றுகிறது] ;-)
Be proud to be a Hindu - Diwali Stamp petition
Dear Friends,
Many of you who have lived outside the USA may not know that the US Postal Service issues beautiful stamps each year honoring all religions (Except Hindu) and many cultures. Here is the break down. US Postal Service issues the following stamps each year among many stamps they release:
1. New and different Lunar stamp each year honoring Chinese New Year for Chinese people.
2. Kwanzaa stamp each year to honor African festival for Black people.
3. Black heritage stamp each year honoring famous Black people.
4. Special stamp each year in honor of famous "Spanish" people for Spanish community.
5. Hanukkah stamp each year for Jews people honoring their festival.
6. Different and multiple Christmas stamps each year in honor of Christmas for Christians.
7. EID stamp since about 2001 for Muslim people.
No stamp is so far issued yet by the US Postal Service honoring any major Hindu religion such as Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Buddhist, Swaminarayan etc. or any Hindu festival such as "Diwali". There is a campaign started in the USA since last about 2-3 years to get "Diwali" stamp issued by the US Postal Service. But there is a catch. US Postal Service stamp advisory committee needs 500,000 signatures on a petition in order to issue it. So far, we have collected about 95,000 signatures on the petition. Hindus living in any country can sign this petition. We can't afford any more to sit and relax in the back seat while the rest of the world's stamps are issued. I appeal to all Hindus to please forward this e-mail to your relatives, friends,close assocites, partners, all over the world to please click on the following link, sign the petition, show your "Hindutva" and be proud to be a "Hindu".
Please click on the link below to sign the petition. We must get "Diwali" stamp in 2005. OR COPY AND PASTE THE WEBSITE ON THE ADDRESS BAR

It takes less than a minute (complete name, e-mail address which U.S. Postal keeps confidential and the city you live in which is optional) to sign the petition.
Thank you for taking your time.
