Establishment of 9/11 Rememberance Day Bill [Withdrawn]

[DownWithTheLeft]

If the amendment passes I will withdraw the bill.  This is ridiculous and an unprofessional practice

[DownWithTheLeft]

Nay

[DownWithTheLeft]

But, I also agree with Al that both are preferable to neither

I don't see anything enticing about the original proposal whatsoever.  Borderline paranoia codified into a federal holiday is never a good idea.  Why should people not be able to go shopping on the afternoon of September 11th, 2019?  It's not like a terrorist attack is ever going to happen on the date of 9/11 again.  The only purpose is to fearmonger people into remembering to vote for an aggressive foreign policy.

Are you implying Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and other national holidays are inspired out of fear rather than observance?

I would agree with Jas's amendment if that is the only to get 9/11 remembered as a holiday, however, I feel Civil Rights Days is something that is important as well and much better than the Fmr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Nay, again this is one of those totally changes the spirit of the bill

[DownWithTheLeft]

I purpose the following amendment:

To add:

1.) September 11th will hereby be established as a national holiday referred to officially as Patriot's Day
2.) July 2nd will hereby be established as a national holiday referred to officially as Civil Rights Day
3.) March 8th will hereby be established as a national holiday referred to as Women's Rights Day

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye

[DownWithTheLeft]

I will withdraw the bill as it has become pointless and obviously will wind up far from intentions
