National Day of Rest

Thanks for your inquiries. This piece of legislation is referred to by many names. It's referred to the "Protection of the Work Free Sunday" in the European Parliament. It's also known as "blue laws" in the United States. Many states in this union already have these laws on the books. They don't need to be passed, per se, but just enforced, (like they once were in the 1970's). Come and see how today's increasing global crises and the "war on terror" will actually coalesce to bring about this "Sunday" rest day. However, it's going to be the common people who will push for it. It will start in the United States, then spread throughout the rest of the world. Hope you can take a couple of hours out of your "busy" schedules this Saturday afternoon to discover for yourselves what the "media" is not telling us. If you don't like what you hear, you can walk out. Take care - Scott

no blue laws in WA.

I'm gonna call BS on that. The trend over the 20th & 21st centuries has gradually been to dismantle the blue laws of the 18th & 19th centuries. US News and World Report (of all places!) has a pretty decent overview; apparently, bad economic times can be a driver of repeal.

In fact, in Washington state, restrictions on doing business on Sunday were repealed by popular initiative in 1966. (Scroll down to Initiative Measure No. 229.) The initiative passed by more than 60%.

The last remaining vestige of Washington's "blue law" -- restrictions on selling alcohol in liquor stores on Sundays -- was drastically reduced in 2005. All contract stores can be open on Sunday, and at least some state-run stores are as well. (RCW 66.08.165 and a bit more context in an old PI article. The Lacey store is one of those open on Sunday.)

So I personally don't think this is anything to get worked up about, especially not in this state.

less vague info, please?

Is there anything online about this "proposed legislation"? Searching, all I can find is what looks like a chain mail about this being a project of the Christian Coalition, plus another piece saying that that claim is a hoax, and then a few overseas editorials.
