The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Tuesday that the US Postal Service (USPS) 2018 rule that disallowed political content on custom stamps is unconstitutional.
Since 2005, USPS has offered customers the opportunity to create their own customized stamps. In 2015 USPS established content requirements that were established and maintained through Zazzle, a third-party vendor. USPS required Zazzle to reject any “[p]artisan or political” content, “regardless of the viewpoint expressed.” Zazzle further prohibited politicians’ names, political statements or any content that it deemed controversial.
