Stamp Out Endometriosis

Whereas Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility, chronic pain, immunologic disruption and pelvic surgery in the United States, we the undersigned respectfully request the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to approve an Endometriosis Stamp honoring the estimated 10 million American women and girls suffering from this insidious, as-yet incurable illness.

This petition is consistent with public opinion and represents a broad National interest, and features a highly relevant subject affecting the American female public, their loved ones, and the health professionals who strive to treat them. Coinciding with the ERC’s ongoing “Endometriosis Awareness Month” campaign, it is our further hope that such a stamp may be unveiled to the American public in the month of March.

The Endometriosis Research Center, a volunteer based 501(c)3 tax-exempt, tax-deductible foundation, wholly supports this interest and cause, and freely gives our Internationally recognized symbol, the “Endometriosis Awareness Angels,” created and donated to the ERC by artist Christine Marlow, to this effort as a representative mark of this important and crucial campaign.

By signing this petition I demonstrate my support of the ERC’s efforts to campaign for creation of an Endometriosis stamp and express my willingness to allow the ERC to use my name and any subsequent information provided by me in furtherance of their mission to secure a United States Postal Service Stamp honoring the lives of the millions of American women and girls struggling with this disease and to bring about widespread National awareness which will hopefully lead to better recognition of Endometriosis, more effective treatments, and ultimately – one day – a cure.
