USPS: Ten Commandments Stamp Unlikely

CBNNews.com - WASHINGTON - When it comes to issuing stamps, the U.S. Postal Service has what might be called an eleventh commandment: "Thou shalt not celebrate religious themes."
Postal Service spokesman Roy Betts says the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee that considers new designs for postage makes an exception for religious holidays, so stamps celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and the Muslim Ramadan and Eid observances are allowed.
At a news conference in Washington yesterday, the Reverend Rob Schenck urged Postmaster General John Potter to make an exception and approve a stamp honoring the Ten Commandments.
Schenck says Potter, who attended the news conference, responded that he usually follows the advisory committee's recommendations.
