A small victory towards making birthdays safe
President Bush today signed an emergency executive order calling for an investigation into the threat posed by piñatas. President Bush signed the order while on vacation in Bejing. Amidst enjoying the varied competition. The President took the necessary time to sign the executive order between watching the USA Women’s Beach Volleyball game and eating a hotdog.The Coalition for Safe Birthdays, which has been promoting their cause with the above video, said
“It is about time. This investigation is long overdue. The destruction, pain, and suffering caused by piñatas must be controlled. We are pleased that the President took the time to listen to our cause and we feel redeemed. Everyone in the Piñata Manufacturer’s Association will now be under Federal scrutiny and hopefully we’ll be able to follow this action up with legislation to make piñatas illegal and once again make birthdays safe for our children.”
