Already green with excitement over St. Patrick's Day?

Then visit this site, an interactive petition -- sponsored by Guinness -- to make March 17 a national holiday. The campaign, called Proposition 3-17, needs 1 million signatures by midnight March 16 in order to move on to Congress.

Organizers needed 879, 971 more signatures when I last visited. So...get signing!

(Note to local partiers: I'm researching local St. Patty's Day festivities, by the way, and I should have at least a preliminary list up here soon.)
