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!

Watching this count climb reminds me exactly why I started this while working my own shift today. We are nearly halfway to the next big milestone and I need you to send this link to your coworkers before the end of your day.

We are pushing right up against the hundred signature mark and I need you to help me break through to the next level. Seeing the President take his forty-ninth vacation while we struggle to get even a few days off is infuriating and the people in power need to see how many of us agree.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Pass this law already.

Must be nice to get paid to sit around. Meanwhile my boss throws a fit if I take a Friday off for a funeral.

5 weeks would actually change my life. Tired of being burnt out all the time for pennies.

Ridiculous. I get one week a year if I am lucky. How is he allowed to just take off whenever he wants while the rest of us work ourselves to the bone.

Fair is fair. If he can do it so can we.
