Petition for Pizza

Matthew Baldwin of The Morning News called yesterday for the establishment of a new quadrennial holiday in America: Pizza Party USA. From the article:

Here’s how it works. First we ditch the whole ‘Do you want $3 of your federal tax to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund?’ thingie on income tax forms. I mean, come on—who checks that box anyhow? Illiterates and people who owe Wesley Clark three bucks but don’t know his home address—those are the only ones I can think of.

Instead, we add a checkbox that says, ‘Do you want $3 of your federal tax to go to PIZZA PARTY U.S.A.?!! Hell, yeah!’ Call me crazy, but I’m guessing people will be more enthusiastic about chipping in for a pizza party than donating it to some old white guy who already has enough money to buy Neptune.

Read the article and sign the petition. Your country needs you.
