I assume one of the last executive orders on Jan 2017 will be making August 4th a national holiday.

I looked up some info about the group that stated this *petition*: *CREDO Action*

Looks like they are radical left wing progressives, of the highest order. Their goal? To belittle the opposition at all costs. Figures. About the CREDO Mission, from their website:

CREDO is a social change organization that supports activism and funds progressive nonprofits—efforts made possible by the revenues from our mobile phone company, CREDO Mobile.

Over the course of our history, CREDO has raised over $79 million for Democracy Now!, Brennan Center for Justice, Doctors Without Borders, ACLU, EFF, Planned Parenthood, 350.org and hundreds of other nonprofit groups.

Our activism arm, CREDO Action, channels the power of its 3.5 million members to fight for progressive change. We’ve generated over 16 million letters and phone calls to decision-makers in Washington D.C., in state and local governments, and in corporate headquarters across the country. Our members have submitted their signatures over 127 million times on CREDO petitions and in public comments to government agencies.

Victories in 2014, with more to come.

Progressives must fight on every front to beat back right wing assaults on women’s rights, the environment, equality and social justice. CREDO activists moved the needle in many of these fights, winning outright victories along the way:

Our history-making Pledge of Resistance—signed by 100,000 CREDO members and co-organized with Rainforest Action Network and Other 98%—was a major factor in delaying the approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. We drove President Obama to bar federal contractors from firing employees based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and mandate a higher minimum wage for any company that does business with the federal government. We successfully blocked Congress from fast-tracking approval of the disastrous TransPacific Partnership treaty. And we helped force federal regulators to stop banks from targeting low-income borrowers with predatory loans.
