WASHINGTON, June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Postal Service reissued the
stamp honoring former President Ronald Reagan in Simi Valley, CA, at a First Class
postage rate of 39 cents. Reagan's patriotism, charisma and optimistic
confidence rallied the nation and made him one of the most popular Presidents of
the 20th century.

The Ronald Reagan 37-cent commemorative stamp was issued Feb. 9, 2005. The 39-cent
stamp with the same design is available in Simi Valley, CA, today, and will be
available nationwide Thurs., June 15.

"I am particularly honored to join you in celebrating the life of a remarkable
world leader, a distinguished President and a great man," said James C. Miller
III, Chairman of the presidentially appointed U.S. Postal Service Board of
Governors.
"Ronald Reagan's record is proof that one person, determined and
dedicated, can shoulder the greatest of burdens and carry them through to victory,
and in his case, even make it look easy," added Miller, who served as Reagan's
Director of the Office of Management and Budget and later, chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission.


Joining Chairman Miller in dedicating the stamp was Duke Blackwood, Executive
Director, The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Kerry Wolny, District
Manager, Van Nuys District, U.S. Postal Service.

"Re-issuing a commemorative U.S. Presidential stamp in a higher denomination is a
very rare occurrence," said Blackwood. "Mrs. Reagan is touched that the U.S.
Postal Service is honoring her husband in this manner."

3. Sorry, Mr. Miller
I am a proud atheist re the Church of St. Ronnie. I was there in real time, lived through it, suffered (still) the consequences of it and you and your ilk can go to hell. Thank you.

4. Our Post Office would not display them last time around.
Just one of the reasons I love living here.

5. I understand that people were having some trouble with them.
They sometimes wouldn't stick to the envelopes.

After investigating, it was discovered that most people were spitting on the wrong side.
