For many years, the chiropractic profession has submitted design
requests to the U.S. Postal Service to issue an official postage
stamp honoring the more than 100 years of health care service
provided by doctors of chiropractic. The World Chiropractic Alliance
spearheaded a massive grassroots campaign and commissioned one of
the best stamp designers in the country to produce artwork for the
USPS's consideration. Unfortunately, these efforts failed.
BUT ... that doesn't stop us from designing and
using special government-authorized postage labels
that can be used as valid first-class postage on our letters! First
issued by the WCA in June 2007, thousands of specially designed
postage labels honoring chiropractic have been used by doctors
around the country -- each one a "mini billboard" promoting the
profession!
The positive impact of an image or message on a postage stamp is
incredible. Many doctors use them for special mailings, as gifts to
patients for referrals, or as special promotional give-aways. Some
even frame a sheet and hang them in their waiting room!
