Free the Cuban Five stamp in Bolivia



Nice gesture by Evo and company; 20,000 of the stamps will be issued and go around the world, calling attention to the Cuban Five's plight. Story says U.S. Supreme Court may decide this month on a petition to review the Five's convictions.

Sorry the photo is so large, don't know how to downsize it. :shrug: (Judi, help !!)

2. That is a wonderful stamp, and a wonderful action by Bolivia.
I've come to this place, too, rabs, and had a photo turn out really large, but this won't hurt, since we can simply move the bar at the bottom, and see all of it, anyway.

Just to make sure, I did a search for this stamp to see if anyone else had it in a smaller size, and as of yet, this is the only image I can find! A search in google for the "Free the Cuba Five" stamp in Bolivia leads right to your link!

I'd sure like to know the secret of downsizing images, myself! If I ever find out what it is, I'll p.m. it to you.

Thanks for the view of this stamp. It'll hack off some clowns in Santa Cruz, won't it?

3. That's weird. When I look at the image by itself, it's smaller
but when I try post it, it's big again. Maybe it's an omen, rab. :)

I wonder if there is a way to buy these stamps. It's beautiful!

4. Going to try to get some of the stamps



Have a friend who lives in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. If Evo is a leftist, this lady is about 20 degrees more to the LEFT, although she is a cruzena. Will try to send her email but we have not been in contact for many years.

EF, you might try the Bolivian Consulate at 870 Market Street. Think the press attache or a first secretary would try to get you some. Good luck !
