Grand opening, grand closing. This is why I hit Ron Johnson with the :
Sen. Ron Johnson retracts amendment for Juneteenth holiday

"I was in no way deprecating Christopher Columbus’ achievements or expressing any value judgment regarding his place in history. As I stated in an interview with the Milwaukee Press Club last Friday, I do not support efforts to erase America’s rich history — not the good, the bad or the ugly," Johnson said in a news release.

“Instead of eliminating a current holiday to make room for Juneteenth Day, I will be proposing to reduce the number of paid leave days federal employees receive, to offset the cost of the new holiday celebrating emancipation. This modification both preserves Columbus Day and the dollars of hard-working taxpayers," Johnson said.

As I said before, his reasoning is bullshyt

What the REAL reason

I'm tax payer... I'd enjoy the extra day off

Stop giving credence to this right wing tripe

We frankly need more holidays in this country in general


When I lived in Spain there were holidays what felt like everyday

we need another holiday weekend early august that carries july 4th weight, not presidents day weight. perfect middle of summer placement

we'd have end of may, beginning of july, beginning of august, beginning of september. ive always wanted the dems to push for that

Ask yourself why they want to just rearrange the days instead of having both days and renaming one

CAC tricknology
