A Frisco, Texas woman is suing the United States Postal Service (USPS) in a claim that the government agency is preventing her from expressing her religious views.
Susan Fletcher is the Precinct 1 County Commissioner in Collin County, but she is also a graphic designer who recently wanted to create personalized postage stamps for Christmas, as well as for Texas independence Day, according to a report by the Texas Scorecard.
Within her design, Fletcher wanted to have a Christian message for her family and friends.
The design would be turned into postage stamps through a government-approved, third-party vendor.
However, even for custom designs, postal regulations still prohibit any religious content. The postal service has the same restrictions for political, violent or sexual content.
“I just want to express my faith in everything I do, at Christmas and all throughout the year,” Fletcher said.
Fletcher’s suit alleges the regulation is a violation of her First Amendment rights.
