Petition text:
I petition my senators and congressman/congresswoman to propose a law for the President's signature proclaiming the month of April as National Scots, Scots-Irish Heritage Month in perpetuity.

Many American immigrant groups have months to teach and recognize their achievements. For instance; June is Caribbean-American Heritage Month; March is Irish-American Heritage Month; May is Jewish-American Heritage Month; May is also Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month; February is African-American History Month”. There are others, which can be seen at The White House website-whitehouse.gov listed under “proclamations”. But, it seems that we Scots and Scots-Irish are about the only group of Americans who are left out. We are not “hyphenated” Americans, but Americans who have a sense of pride in our cultural heritage.

That heritage will be forgotten unless we support our teaching it to our children and grandchildren with a publicly recognized display of pride.
