Force all retailers to stay closed on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is about being thankful & spending time with family

Created by J.S. on November 10, 2014

As each year goes by we see more and more retailers siding more with corporate greed instead of traditional morals by being open on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving has always been the time of year to be thankful for what you have and to spend time with your family! As more retailers choose to be open on Thanksgiving Day, they are keeping very hard-working employees away from their families by forcing them to work. Yes, they get paid extra for working on a paid holiday (I would hope), but chances are they're not getting paid enough. Yet while all these employees are working, all the higher up corporate executives are celebrating this beloved holiday with their families. How fair is that? We the people ask President Obama, mandate that all retailers CLOSE on Thanksgiving Day!
