Rep. Adam Schiff is pushing for a U.S. Postal Service stamp aimed at honoring Leonard Nimoy, praising the “Star Trek” star as an “example of the American dream.”
“Live long and prosper!” the California Democrat wrote in a Monday letter to the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee and obtained by ITK.
“This is a phrase that is part of our lexicon, as is the unforgettable character who first proclaimed those words,” Schiff said.
“I am writing to support the creation of a stamp for Leonard Nimoy, an extraordinary activist, actor, and dear friend,” the California Senate candidate said.
The advisory committee, according to the Postal Service’s website, uses “their collective expertise in history, science, technology, art, education, sports, and other areas of public interest” to “consider and then recommend stamp subjects” to the Postmaster General for approval.

Nimoy, who originated the role of Spock on the intergalactic TV series, died in 2015 at 83.
The actor, Schiff said, was “revered by fans for this role, best put by the New York Times as ‘bringing to life one of the most indelible characters of the last half century.’”
Citing Nimoy’s experience as the son of Ukrainian immigrants, Schiff said the late performer “serves as an example of the American dream.”
“He gave back to his country with his years of service in the Army and his activism in his community,” Schiff said, calling him an “incredibly gifted individual” and a “dear friend.”

How humiliating for Nimoy. May his spirit haunt creepy little Fish.
Nimoy once won a case against Heineken for stealing his likeness on a billboard ad. Schiff has no business in such a matter here.
I talked to him by phone he called one of my clients i took care of rich folks homes in the bidness guy i was working for one day said hey wanna wish spock a happy birthday. i said sure sure enough it was Nimoy. charming man
Never say “lick” and “Adam Schiff” in the same sentence.
Gen Z: “What’s a postage stamp?”
Yes
Serious question: Does the USPS issue any stamps, in any denomination, that need to be moistened prior to application?
I would trust Schiff on anything...even something as innocuous as this. Is there any other state where voters have put such a long list of losers in office (i.e., Pelosi, Boxer, Schiff, Harris, etc.)?
Not any more that I know of. I still write checks & SEND my bills thru the mail.
the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
THERE’S MUCH MORE IMPORTANT $}{!T FOR THE USELESS TURDS IN CONGRESS TO DO RIGHT NOW !!!
(See Tagline.)
Agree, Agree...
I don’t have a problem with Nimoy getting the stamp; I DO have a problem with dog schiff getting credit for it.
Nimoy was a climate hero.
He warned us about the coming ice age decades ago.
Stamps are self-stick now......................
(the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few)
Or the one!
Nimoy was a pervert.
