WHEREAS
An AGREED UPON STANDARD of No Work Days. (Exodus 20 & Leviticus 23, Exodus 12) is available through
the word of God to prophets around the world, since most religions acknowledge Moses as God's Lawgiver : EXAMPLES:
Bible: Matthew 4:4 (man shall live by every word of God); Luke 16:31, John 5:45-47; Psalm 119, Malachi 4:4;
Deuteronomy 4:2; Leviticus 23; 24:22; Exodus 12:49)
(Qur'an, Ahmad. #s: 5.68, 69; "O People of the scriptures, you
stand on nothing till you observe the Torah (Law of Moses) and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all God sent down to you."
42.14-16;
5.43-51, 17:3; 6:155, 156)
(Zoroastra: Avesta means "the Law"; Verethraghna: "the Word of the Law would become victorious..")
(Buddha: "happy is teaching of the true law.")
(Rig Veda:10:9 creator.."whose laws are true")
(Dhammapada
"The Way of the Law.")
(Bahai: Tablets of Baha' u'llah page 109 "Unto no one is given the right to deviate from the
laws and ordinances of God.")
(Gita: 18:25 "That action performed in illusion, in disregard of scriptural injunctions
and without concern for future bondage or for violence or distress caused to others is said to be in the mode of ignorance."
)
THEREFORE
We call upon US President Barack Obama, US Congress and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon,
to proclaim UNITED
NO WORK DAYS to bring greater stability, equality, unity and peace and to more fairly support and lift up the freedom of religion
and equality for all people.
Added Benefits:
*** Greater efficiency, profitability and conservation of energy
resources when workplaces close one day a week.
*** Greater equality in scheduling classes, helps, meetings and family
gatherings
*** Better family relationships.
*** Greater respect, unity and equality brings peace and stability
WE PETITION
That we quickly change our national weekly NO WORK DAY from Sunday to the 7th day commanded in
the Ten Commandments. (Exodus 20:8-11, Saturday, sunset to sunset).
WE PETITION FURTHER
That the other COMMANDED
NO WORK DAYS in Leviticus 23 are declared to be national NO WORK DAYS, (There is one on either side of week-long memorial
feasts that would make wonderful times to schedule week-long vacations. There is one in the spring and one in the fall. We
should cancel other national holidays that bring great expense, confusion and pollution.
Deuteronomy 4:2 God says not to add to or diminish from His word. That word provides structure and unity.
Peace can follow.
Petitioners:
Sincerely,
