I have learned from Linn's Stamps New 5/17/2010 that the Postal Regulatory
Commission Chairman Ruth Y. Goldway has urged the Postal Service to make all
commemorative stamps forever stamps "to stop their sagging sales". The
nondenominated Liberty Bell forever stamp has become the best-selling one,
"seriously eroding sales of both commemoratives and Flag definitives".

IMO, a typical result of the law of unintended consequences.

What is your opinion, should USPS issue Commemorative Forever Stamps?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Don't care

I'd say yes, Victor. Britain has been doing just this for some time now,
I believe, although not all their commemoratives are nondenominated.

It had nothing to do with my vote, but Ruth Goldway is originally from
my home town of Santa Monica, California.

Agreed, all stamps should be "forever" stamps. Either that or make it
mandatory that the USPS cannot raise rates more than once every five
years at bare minimum.
