[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3389085, member: 44328"] Summary: Someone proposed making Juneteenth as a Federal holiday, which would give Federal employees paid day off each year. Langford supported an amendment to offset that cost by CHANGING (not eliminating) Columbus Day from a Federal holiday to just... a holiday. Rather than ADDING a paid day off to the 10 existing paid days off that Federal (and a lot of other employees get). So it would still be 10 paid holidays, one of which would be Juneteenth instead of Columbus Day. For those of you who insist that voting and/or calling or writing your representatives does no good... isn't the fact that Langford (and I assume others who supported the amendment) withdrew the amendment apparently based on calls from their constituents an example that this theory is wrong?
