I will be very happy to by hundreds of these stamps.
I am disappointed, that consideration for the Harvey Milk Stamp, does not include my iconic image of Harvey, that introduced him nationally… 5 months before he was elected. It’s not a painting… it’s the real thing! for the history of my image please visit

For over 30 years, that was one of the mst well known image of Harvey… it’ like raising the flag at Iwo Jima… that stamp is based on that historic image, and that is why I feel my image captures the
real Harvey Milk… not some painting by someone who was not there, or knew Harvey…
I am asking you to help me get my image considered… Thank you,
Jerry
