National Holiday And Families Act
We are a country forged from the dreams and blood of great men, who believed that we could govern ourselves and stake out the best path for our own lives. They believed, if anything, that we should not be governed by the will of others--- but by the combined will of the American people.
Yet, for many hard working Americans-- there is no day set aside to honor this great gift and responsibility that we have been so fortunate to inherit. Instead, for many, these days have been hijacked by businesses and work responsibilities.
To date- the United States has no set national holidays for which all Americans are guaranteed a day off from work in order to observe those historic sacrifices for which our way of life is even possible today.
Therefore, it is the purpose of this petition to beg of our President and all members of Congress-- no matter the political party, to take into consideration setting aside the three days of Thanksgiving, Independence Day and Election Day every year as the first true National Holidays, to mandate that every American should have these days with their family to both honor and continue that great process of Democracy for which we all too often take for granted.
Thank You.

Why is this important?
All Americans should be allowed to honor the sacrifices made to bring us our liberties at home with their families, and the opportunity to take part in shaping our future. This Petition is to turn Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Election Day into special National Holidays-- guaranteeing all Americans whose job isn't necessary for emergency or security purposes a day off to celebrate at home with their families.
