Make it illegal for retail stores to open on Thanksgiving.

Created by J.G. on November 24, 2014

It's a travesty that employees of certain retail stores fear losing their job because they don't want to work on Thanksgiving. These employees should have the basic right to stay home on Thanksgiving and not be forced to come in and work. Black Friday should start no sooner than midnight the Friday after Thanksgiving. Every American citizen should have the right to celebrate this American holiday, without the fear of being fired.
