Petition to Honor AA's 80th Birthday with a USPS Stamp!

On June 10th, 1935 a small fellowship with a big idea got its start: Alcoholics Anonymous. Soon, that fellowship will be celebrating 80 years of quietly saving lives. Millions of people (AA doesn't keep any kind of official count, but this is a decent guess) have either changed their own lives or witnessed the change in the life of a loved one thanks to the 12 Steps of AA. 

The Man on the Bed by Robert M. It first appeared as a cover on the December 1955 issue of the AA publication The Grapevine.  More info here


To honor the service, compassion, and tireless work of the founders of AA, several recovery groups have banded together to petition the US Postal Service for an official Bill W (AA's founder) stamp.
