Below is my reply to the email:
Point One: If the government is required to work on Sundays, just what day of the week should they get off? We would have to pay government employees overtime for going over 40 hours a week.
Point Two: Thanksgiving is NOT a religious holiday.
Point Three: If you make government employees work on religious holidays, then big business will decide that it is okay to make everyone work on religious holidays. I for one have spent time working on Christmas and Easter when I would rather be with my family.
Point Four: The Under God part of the pledge wasn't added until 1954, so if they remove it, we're not banning some long held tradition. As a point of fact, the pledge didn't even exist until the beginning of the last century.
Point Five: Email such as this only serves to upset people on both sides of the God talk and it clogs up email boxes when the readers could be doing work in God's name, as oppose to sending out inflammatory emails.
God Bless
