Will Durst on Bush's vacation

[NV Whino]

A. Vacation? 35 days is not a vacation. 35 days is a sabbatical. 35 days is a retreat. It's five weeks. 36 hours short of a tenth of a year. Longer than the gestation period of most mammals. Where's my 35-day vacation? Where's your 35-day vacation? Where's the American public's 35 day vacation?

4. Petition: The George W. Bush Paid Vacation Act

TO: Democratic Members of the House of Representatives
FR: The People

I humbly request that you propose legislation that will entitle all
full-time workers in the United States to five weeks of paid vacation
time.

George W. Bush has taken a five week vacation, the longest
Presidential vacation in 36 years and the 49th of his Presidency.
President George W. Bush has spent 20% of his terms in office on
vacation. The country is at war.

If the President of the United States is indeed one of our peers,
hard-working American citizens should be entitled to as much vacation
as our Chief Executive.

UPDATE: 450 SIGNATURES IN 12 HOURS!

PLEASE FORWARD THE URL OF THIS PETITION TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FULL-TIMERS!
