Stamp for AT ? (was) RE: [at-l] AT Funding

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Semi-postals are charity stamps: Part of the stamp goes for the postage and
part goes for the charity.  Many governments use them.  Usually they are not
good for international mail, but local mail is okay.  And often collectors
buy them.

Since the AT (like it or not) is a government "agency", what about a
semi-postal for the AT.  Or several semi-postals for the AT.  Emphasizing
that the AT's special and unique position in trail history.

PS   The USPO has done at least one.  For breast cancer I believe.  So why
not for the AT?
