Dear Advisory Board Members:

How do we go about trying to get some type of response from you directly? Why do you ignore all the taxpayers who have signed these petitions. I do believe, like all of us, that we deserve more consideration than you have shown us.

All the enclosed Audie Murphy letters and articles should show you how hard we are working to get the Audie Murphy Stamp approved and issued. Does politics play a role in this denial?

Please give us some honest and forward answers to our questions. Public pressure is building to the point where the U.S. Post Office is going to either issue the stamp or start damage control on their tarnished public image. I think you'll find it much more palatable to just issue the stamp... especially since Audie Murphy clearly deserves the honor.

Please stop ignoring our pleas and efforts. We would be very grateful if you will acknowledge our petitions for this stamp.

Thank you,

/-----Signed-----/
