"There have been U.S. postage stamps honoring medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing and even public hospitals. It is way past time for chiropractic to be honored in the same manner, and the American Chiropractic Association is working with the World Chiropractic Alliance, the International Chiropractic Association and the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations on the project."

Each year the U.S. Postal Service receives approximately 40,000 proposals recommending subjects for stamps. The 15-member Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, which meets four times a year in Washington D.C., evaluates the suggestions.

To be successful, a stamp proposal needs to be backed by thousands of letters over an extended period of time. The committee makes its recommendations to the Postmaster General, who relies heavily on the committee's recommendations. It usually takes about three years for a stamp to be approved.

Postcards with a printed message of support should be mailed to:

Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee
US Postal Service
Stamp Development
Room 5670
475 L'Enfant Plaza S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20260-2437

The committee does not track how many people are supporting a certain stamp, but how many postcards or letters support it.
