In this hectic year of fast-changing public topics, I ask you to remember The American Parent. For that purpose, I am humbly submitting this urgent request for your office to issue the attached Parents Day Proclamation, or an appropriate equivalent or better version at your wise discretion. The basis for this request for issuance of Proclamation, and provision of appropriate Activities, is as enacted by federal law for the official holiday, 36 U.S.C. § 135, Parents Day, which request is short, and attached for your immediate convenience by the enclosed information reference sheet. Further, you are encouraged to choose the best time and place for a photo opportunity to publicly thank your support for all parents in the community, and to celebrate the occasion accordingly. I will certainly be able to provide plenty of very happy faces attending your chosen public venue, and would be glad to work with your staff in making any necessary arrangements for success. Thanking you in advance on behalf of parents, children and families everywhere, I remain, Sincerely Yours, ____________________________ [erase this line and brackets, but type your name here]
