Seize This Day for America
In my capacity as a rational human being, a common citizen of these United States of America and a member of the dKos community, I officially declare this day, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, a new American holiday to commemorate our American democracy, the innate equality of all human beings, and our natural right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
I respectfully request that all Americans join me in this observance, annually on this day forevermore. I urge that we welcome and encourage all people of every nation to participate.
I will observe this day in prayer, meditation, reflection, and discourse with family, friends, and acquaintances to commemorate our American democracy. I humbly beseech my fellow Americans to join me and my family in this observance.
I propose that such observance will illuminate the sacred bond we Americans share, that bond which is admired, desired, or emulated by citizens in every nation throughout the world, that bond which is most effectively expressed in our American democracy.
I propose that such observance will reflect the rich tapestry of our American values, opinions, histories, wisdoms and political affinities in all their naked glory.
I propose that such observance will enhance the social and spiritual experience each of us will enjoy on Thanksgiving Day.
I call on all my fellow Americans, especially members of the dKos community, to commemorate this day by forsaking all labor, all earnings from investments, and all commercial transactions which are not committed as an expression of honor, respect and affinity for our American democracy, our citizens, our guests, and our neighbors in the world community.
I respectfully urge my fellow Americans to employ any and all means at their disposal to effect their observance of this day and the principles here enumerated. I call on all American Patriots to join us, and invite all citizens throughout the world who hold life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to be the highest properties of a civilized society.
This Declaration of a New American Holiday is officially entered on Wednesday, November 24, 2004, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time in the United States of America.
