I have felt for a long time that this day should be a public holiday and I'd like to start working on establishing that. Well in NYC. Any help? I'm seeing the fact it's not a holiday is just another way to suppress votes.


Apologies guys for the mistake in writing November 4th. I just remember that being election day in 2008 was on November 4th and ran with it. I hope you guys got the meaning. So any help?

1. You've got my vote.

It's my birthday.

On a less serious note, I do think that election day should be a holiday. There have been times when I couldn't get out to vote because I was the only person left at work, etc. In fact, I always thought it was odd that it wasn't a holiday.

Poopy thought is, Tuesday holiday. blech. Make it a Friday.

2. What is so special about Nov. 4?

4. Election day is Nov. 6

What may be suppressing votes is the fact that Nov. 4 is a Sunday, 2 days before election day.

I don't feel that it should be a holiday, but a day of high importance.

10. I would write to your Senators and your Representative

Write via snail mail, not an email.

Make your best case with facts and your best logic.

If you write an excellent letter, you may get one of them to sponsor a bill. They might even
go to bat for it, instead of only introducing it.

Hope this helped.
