This bill needs to fail.  No way should the holiday be abolished.

no holidays should be absolished, although this one in particular is tempting

perhaps add a holiday on Super Bowl Monday while scrapping Christmas?

IIRC, a number of holidays have been abolished in the past.
Excluding Christmas, could anyone tell me what federal holidays remain?

I don't really know.

But I'm not voting for any less holidays. If anything we should get more off. Mexican Flag Day and Armed Forces Day anyone?

I propose that October 6 be established as "Opebo Day" or "Max Hardcore Day"

Perhaps the Opebo Day bill and this bill could be molded into one.

This sounds reasonable.

I oppose this bill and don't want to vote against Opebo Day, so no.

Mexican Flag Day and Armed Forces Day anyone?

I support the instatement of a Mexican Flag Day to show our support for the Mexican invasion.

The bill has enough votes to fail.  Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
