POLITICIAN LOBBYS FOR RIGHTS
WASHINGTON, DC - Angered by the overwhelming neglect of
St. Patrick's Day as a fiduciary holiday, Libertarian Spokesman
and retired thespian, Greg Willis, lobbies for political
tolerance for the day celebrating the Patron Saint of Ireland.
"It just sends me into a rage, the way these people
neglect this day. I want to scream, 'It's a major holiday,
people! You better celebrate that jank!' But nobody listens.
They never do. They just keep playing those silly games
like wearing green and pinching each other, which, by the
way, is more like a tickle than a pinch. I'm doing a seminar
on pinching in April, but that's a whole other issue. I'm
here today to lobby for the ethical treatment of March 17th,
Saint Patrick's Day."
Willis, a long time political awareness advocate and voice
for local philanthropic groups such as, Beer Is More Than
Nascar and Here Comes the Homebrewsters! has been raising
awareness now for two years.
"Last year, at my house, we had a jank you would not
believe. Over 100 people showed up to help the cause. I
spoke on a microphone for over two hours talking about St.
Patrick and why this holiday should be respected as such.
I also brewed delicious beer, which I we gave away for free,
and had a friend's band, Tacks, The Boy Dissaster play live.
But the real hit of the party was me talking."
Similar to last year, Willis is planning a party at his
house to raise awareness of what has traditionally been
celebrated as a minor holiday.
"This year, I'm brewing beer again and we're going
all out. It's what I do. Raising awareness about this holiday
is the most important issue facing the 2008 platforms, and
we need to be vocal."
Dedicated to keep the campaign running as long as possible
for the great good of culture, Greg and wife, Jolie, found
great inspiration in the awareness efforts of the Saint
Nicolas Crusades of 1979.
"Nobody looks at December 25th and neglects to realize
that Christmas is about St. Nick, do they? That's what I'm
talking about. Complete global awareness! And, speaking
of, to help this jank go global, I'm pairing the event with
my ambassador in from England, which is near Ireland, by-the-way.
We're taking everything out of the box for this one."
Beginning at 7Pm and ending at 10PM, the party will be
held at The Oak Grove Abbey on March 17th.
