lol. You still buy stamps? I would not waste my time at all.
I’m sure you’ll meet Ronnie’s little liberal boy, Ron jr at the post office with the same enthusiasm (sarc/)
That is so beautiful!
Dutch’s face cut a fine figure because his spirit shone from within.
A man of character whose character defined him and his times.
We shan’t see his type again for a long, long time.
Not a fan of Reagan?
Why is the 44 crossed out?
RR doesn’t like BO?
It’s a forever stamp so whatever the rates go to you’ll be covered. I know some people collect like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Hope, etc. I don’t know how long they will be sold or if this is a 1 day deal, wouldn’t think it’s just for 1 day but wanted to let FREEPERS know.
In my opinion, his image should be carved on Mt. Rushmore- if that is possible.
If you don’t like President Reagan name another President in the last Century you did like.
44 cents. Crossed out to prevent counterfeiting from the image, I presume.
Not a fan of stamps or government run businesses. Of course you have every right to support the big government. I don’t expect you to be a conservative but on this site I want you to be.

Thank you for letting us know!
No, just not a fan of snail mail.
As for me, I can’t remember the last time I used a stamp.
I am sure you meant to comment to the other dude?
If not click on my name..
lol. Come on seriously. Because he doesn’t want to buy a stamp it is a slight on Reagan. Some of you are WORSE than liberals.
Yes, I will buy them and use them to send letters to my more Liberal family members.
Haaa haa ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
I agree, but I am not willing to give up recognizing the special events of family members and friends. No Hallmark fan, I make all my own greetings, often not traditional cards, but have to get them all over the country!

Do I have your permission to be a conservative? Please, please, allow mew to be a conservative.
So do you use public roads, or public utilities? The government is useful for somethings among them infrastructure.
