Enrique Camarena Postage Stamp

The Federal Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique Camarena Stamp Petition

Mrs. Holly's 5th grade class at Lugonia Elementary School in Redlands, California is proposing a concept of a stamp to honor Enrique Camarena. A U.S. Federal Drug Agent who was murdered in Mexico in 1985 for having come dangerously close to unlocking a multi-billion dollar drug pipeline, which he suspected extended into the highest reaches of the Mexican Army, Police and Government.

Their stamp proposal is -To Honor Enrique Camarena-A Hero Against Drugs. They would like to generate public awareness of Enrique Camarenas dedication to the fight against drugs. It is their hope that with your support they can get as many signatures as possible to present to our Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee endorsement.

Why a "stamp"? To educate children and adults about how Red Ribbon Week began and to generate awareness in the fight against drugs. To honor a Key figure for his dedication in trying to decrease substance abuse. in our lives, and to keep alive the memory of F.D.E.A Enrique Camarena-A Hero. Please, help the Fifth grade Students at Lugonia Elementary School to make this proposal a success.

Let's get Our Stamp Campaign Approved

We need to send in more signatures and letters to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee in order to persuade them that a stamp to honor Enrique Camarena would be the highest tribute paid to this great man who fought against drugs, and lost his life in the process.

You Can Help:

We must raise awareness about Enrique Camarena, the commitment he made to his work, sacrificing his entire life, for a safer world. His death should not be in vain, but a celebration of a drug-free future for all.
