ACS Celebrates the International Year of Chemistry U.S.Commemorative Stamp Petition

In view of chemistry's many contributions to the American experience and the world's quality of life and on the occasion of the recently announced United Nations' 2011 International Year of Chemistry, the American Chemical Society is working to urge the United States Postal Service to adopt chemistry as a theme for a commemorative stamp in 2011.

Considering the fact that the USPS gets 50,000 subject requests per year and awards only 25 commemorative stamps per year, your efforts to contribute to this cause this year are very important and very much appreciated.

Sign the online petition now to indicate your support. If you have already signed the petition, no need to sign again. However, feel free to forward the link to colleagues and friends willing to support this effort.

You can also download a petition to print out and distribute. Please send the completed petitions via mail to the American Chemical Society, Office of International Activities, 1155 16th Street NW, Room O-1106, Washington, DC 20036 or via fax to +202-872-6317 by November 2, 2009.
