O'Connor postage stamp campaign

The Flannery O'Connor Society (Modern Language Association) has launched a campaign to commemorate the life and works of Flannery O'Connor on a U.S. postage stamp.  The Society is joining efforts with the Foundation and several other organizations to petition the U.S. Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to name O'Connor as the 26th honoree in the USPS Literary Arts Series in 2010 to coincide with what would have been O'Connor's 85th birthday.  WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Please print, sign, and mail the appeal letter (click here for text) to the Stamp Advisory Committee.  More personal letters, preferably printed on institutional letterhead, would also be very effective.  With your help, we can realize our goal of raising awareness of the life and works of one of America's finest writers in this exciting and well-deserved way.
