LET'S PUT JOHN PRINE ON A USPS STAMP!
America's favorite Singing Postman, John Prine, passed away of COVID-19 in April of 2020. His legion of fans worldwide would love to see his smiling face on a USPS stamp! Not only would it be a fitting tribute to the folk singer who started out as a mailman in Maywood, Illinois, and then served in the US Army, but it would be a great way to help the struggling USPS too!
Please sign this petition to the USPS to consider John for a stamp! While you're at it, vow to buy a roll of 100 "Forever" stamps (or whatever you can afford) from the Post Office to help keep this vital institution alive.
We will submit this petition to the USPS once we reach 25,000 signatures.

This iPetition was created by Paul Metsa, Minnesota musician, and Al Boyce - both rabid John Prine fans.

John Prine spent his early years walking a route in Maywood and those stamps would honor both his music and his service. Post this link on your Facebook page today. Call your local postmaster to ask how to submit a formal request for a commemorative stamp.

The momentum for a John Prine stamp is growing faster than I imagined possible. Post this link on your Facebook wall right now and email your local representative to demand they back this campaign.

He was an American treasure. And he delivered the mail before and after his military service, making up tunes as he walked his route in Maywood. There won’t be another like him.
My very favorite Mr. Postman - John Prine was a working man his whole very American working life - and he always delivered! He deserves a stamp!!
I look forward to telling my young mailwoman about John when he appears in a stamp. She’s sweet and will appreciate his story.
I buy lots of stamps. Some I keep because I am a collector. Some I give as gifts to friends and family. I use many for mailing cards and letters. I would love to have a John Prine stamp. Depending on which picture is chosen I would buy them as gifts and for personal use.
Please add John Prine. I am a 30 year postal retiree that still buys a lot of stamps and used the U.S.P.S.
Let's honor this postal worker who did our country proud
John Prine ….American Icon…deserves a stamp in his honor

He started his career as a postman then became one of the most prolific songwriters in our history thus far. There could not be a better choice to honor him and the postal services.
