Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am honoured to announced that Velez Industries is heading the call from the next President of Alduria, Secretary Seydlitz about the need to make Election Day a holiday of the Republic. Now unfortunately the Liberty & Democracy party doesn't hold the Presidency yet so we can't issue an official Presidential proclamation--but what we can do is call upon businesses all across this great Republic to provide Election Day as a paid day off for their employees or, at the very least, allow their employees to come to work late or leave work early to go vote.

I'm a man who likes to put my money where my mouth is. That's why I'm pleased to announce that Velez Ventures will follow Secretary Seydlitz's clarion call by giving every non-emergency employee of Velez Ventures and all of the businesses we own, operate, or have a controlling interest in a paid vacation day on election day! For the very small numbers of employees who must remain to operate essential services, we will ensure that they have at least 4 hours off on election day and will be able to use the remaining 4 hours in another day to spend time with their families. 

I call upon all employers throughout our great Republic to follow our next President, Secretary Sydlitz's call and allow your workers a day of rest so that they can do their duty and go vote! I've done my part--now it's time for my fellow job creators all throughout our great Republic to do theirs!
