This quote is from the usps.com page:
"On May 12, 2008, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service™ re-issued the nondenominated First-Class Mail definitive Forever Stamp™ (Liberty Bell). The stamp was designed by Carl T. Herrman of Carlsbad, California. The stamp was first issued in 2007.
The Forever stamp will always be valid as First-Class postage on standard envelopes weighing one ounce or less, regardless of any subsequent increases in the First-Class rate. The stamp art depicts the Liberty Bell, which is perhaps the most prominent and recognizable symbol associated with American independence. Over the years, the historic significance of the bell's message has transcended our national borders, and today the Liberty Bell is an international icon of freedom. Replicas of the Liberty Bell exist in all fifty states and the District of Columbia."
