Let's Make St. Patrick's Day an Official Holiday!

Proposition 3-17 is a Guinness-sponsored campaign to make St. Patrick's Day an official holiday. It isn't already?!?!? In order to present the petition to Congress, the brewers of Guinness need 1 million signatures by midnight on March 16, 2008. At the moment, the Company is about 900,000 short of their mark.

What's neat about this online petition (read marketing campaign) is that you get to use an embedded graphic pen to sign your name to it and your signature ends up looking like something you might have written on a credit card receipt after one too many pints.

Truly a worthy cause deserving the attention of law librarians nationwide! LLB is powered by Guinness. Hat tip to Ron Jones for sharing. [JH]

I'm on board to making St-Patrick's Day a legal holiday. Especially since we have St-Jean and Canada day. Why not have an Irish holiday too? St-Patrick's Day is a big deal here in Canada as well as in the States, let's make this official already.
