We Have Chance to Be Part of History

Once in every generation, there is an opportunity to change the world for the better; to take a stand and make sure our children's lives are as good, nay, better than ours ever was. We all know the past events - the Magna Carta, the Reformation, the Declaration of Independence and American Revolution - the list goes on.

I'm talking about the ability to change American history for ever. No, this is not an endorsement of Barack Obama. In fact, if any D&F-er hears Barack repeat any of what I just wrote, let me know. I have an army of lawyers standing by to sue for copyright infringement.

I'm talking about making St. Patrick's Day an official holiday in the United States. Fortunately, there's no revolution or great battle that will have to be fought in order to secure this hallowed day in American history. Nope -all you have to do is sign an online petition. Or if you're attending the Annual Sawyer St. Patrick Day party in Charlotte, NC, you can sign an actual petition, which I will then overnight to the appropriate authorities.

They need 1 million signatures, and at last count, they have somewhere around 861,376. So if all of the D&F-ers out there sign the petition, we can get that number up to at least 861,380; maybe even 861,390 depending on what images people are searching for that day.

So, take the 2 minutes, click here, and sign the petition. Your grandkids will thank you.
