I object.

Freedom day makes it clear that it is about freedom. while the vague naming of "Juneteenth" makes it sounds like some postmodern commercial holiday of no real significance.
Juneteenth is a real holiday, based on a real event that happened in history. “Freedom day” is some abstraction that has no real meaning.

Juneteenth is at best poorly worded English.

Interesting that a day celebrating freedom has no real meaning for you and is a simple 'abstraction'. As a Devout CentristTM perhaps this amendment may be more to your liking as it provides added specificity.

I Propose the following amendment
Quote from: Amendment Proposal
JUNETEENTH ACT
Quote
1. In celebration of the end of slavery in Atlasia, the 19th of June of every year is hereby proclaimed to be National EmancipationFreedom Day.

2. FreedomNational Emancipation Day shall be a federal holiday.

3. National Emancipation Day is colloquially know as 'Juneteenth'

4. This provision shall take effect immediately.

This amendment will be next in the queue.

Since this will presumably pass unanimously and to align this vote with the other votes Im calling this a few hours early so yall get one less "spam" message from me.

A final vote is now open on this bill lasting until 11:59 PM Eastern on Saturday (around 83 hrs) or until everyone has voted, whichever occurs soonest. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.
