A New National Holiday
November 11, 2008
A week ago today was an exciting day for many, including myself, who voted for the 44th president of the United States. Now I sit at home, on Veterans Day, and wonder why I get today off of work but not last Tuesday? Really, what I find curious is why we can't merge voting day with Veterans Day to make it easier for people to get out and vote? Would it be so much to ask for congress to at least debate the merits of merging voting day with Veterans Day? Certainly there is nothing more patriotic than celebrating our right to vote. I can't imagine that many veterans would object. It does, of course, seem a little too easy, which makes me skeptical of the whole idea.
