'Million Mustache March' Planned For April

(WSCR) Here come all the 'By-Crackys' you can handle.

The American Mustache Institute (AMI) is planning a "Million Mustache March" on the nation's capital, part of an ongoing campaign to convince lawmakers to create government incentives to grow facial hair.

According to a report, rally organizers plan to mobilize their mustache-wearing patriots on April 1 at the White House and march to Capitol Hill.

Organizers are working to push the "Stimulus To Allow Critical Hair Expenses, or 'STACHE' Act," which would "provide a $250 annual tax deduction for expenditures on mustache grooming supplies." According to AMI research, mustached Americans earn 4.3 percent more money than clean-shaven Americans on average per yer. Therefore, incentivising mustache growth would boost the economy.
