Dear (name of your local MP),

I wish to bring to your attention the growing concerns from the British public regarding the status of National Badger Day - held annually on 21st June. It has come to my attention that there is a general consensus that there is a great need to elevate the status of National Badger Day and confirm it as a National Holiday; this will be a fitting honour to a great and proud creature and thusly a great and enjoyable day.

Since it's conception in 1905, National Badger Day has brought joy to all who come into its comfortingly glow. Happiness is spread on this day from one man (and woman) to another - regardless of race, religion or class. Spreading happiness is happiness and this is revealed to us all on this great day.

However, the proliferation of joy is hindered by the continued presence of the necessity to work on this day. The insistence of the Government in refusing to address this issue does not help and will continue to disparage National Badger Day supporters.

I am aware that many crimes in the name of National Badger Day have been committed recently. I wish to make it clear that I do not affiliate myself with these extremists or agree with the methods they employ. I sincerely hope that they cease their destructive actions as much as you do.

A question for you: What day of the year does the British public mostly take off work or phone in sick?

Answer: 21st June - National Badger Day

Shocking isn't it?

Please do not ignore this problem. It needs to be addressed immediately otherwise you will risk the very real threat of civil unrest and perhaps a "no way back" scenario. The people of Great Britain want to back this government. Please do us the courtesy of backing us too.

Thanking you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

(your name)
