Okay, here's the thing... Zatarain’s is leading an effort to petition Congress to declare Mardi Gras a national holiday. I agree that Fat Tuesday should have already been a national holiday (yakno... the day before Ash Wednesday), so I fully support Zatarain's effort and would be grateful if everyone here would help out by signing the petition too. They need 100,000 signatures to take it to congress. Right now they only have 5%. So please go sign it.
Zatarains® Motion for Mardi Gras!
Thanks!
