Personally I favor making the Tuesday a federal holiday.

Although suppressing the religious vote with an election day on Sunday would be hilarious.
It is funny that you would find that hilarious... I believe you are joking but if not, you should read up on Jim Crow laws. I believe you wwould find a whole lot in agreement with that ideology- surpressing voters of a certain race and of a certain faith is one in the same

It is a joke, but take this is mind: race is a matter of birth; you cannot change your genes. Faith is a matter of choice; you can change it at anytime (well, most children are indoctrinated early, but let's not get technical). The Jim Crow comparison is not perfect. Smiley
It is not perfect you are correct...and I figured you were joking so I was not angry or offended...but it is not easy to change something you deeply believe in- I would argue it is nearly as difficult as changing your skin color...they are equally part of who you are. Look at the African Methodist Episcopal churches or many Southern Baptist churches and see how race and faith are both part of those peoples identity...
