I'm opposed to the amendment. Not only does it name one of the airports after an Atlasian who already has the capital named after him, I would hope we would at least pick better and more worthy people if they must be Atlasians.

Furthermore, you're completely ignoring the legislation's purpose of renaming the airports after people who were somehow connected to who the airports are already named after. You've just arbitrarily picked two Presidents.

I think we should vote on the amendment.  And I'd like to express my disapproval of the amendment since it is basically changing the entire spirit of the bill.

I ask the Senate to vote against this blatant act of partisan hackery.

Reagan Airport isn't international, anyway.

I object to everything about this bill. If we want to rename an airport after me, that's fine, but no other reason!

I'm all for knocking Reagan's name off of things, but I'd prefer one of them was renamed after Einzige.

I didn't mean to cause such an uproar. This is a silly bill in all honesty. Tongue

Definitely support taking Reagan's name off the DC airport. Don't care much who you rename it for.

I agree that we should be wary of naming things after living presidents or even recently dead ones unless they have a very large, universally recognized achievement or were assassinated.

It reminds me of Michele Bachmann trying to name the Floyd B Olson Memorial Highway after Ronald Reagan... replacing a well known historical governor of the state with a president that never won the state.

By the way:  Olson was a Farmer-Labor governor who got passed a progressive income tax, unemployment insurance, social security, equal pay for women, and the right to collective bargaining in Minnesota with a majority conservative caucus in the legislature (the MN Leg was non-partisan until 1972).  In 1933, he made the following speech that stoked fear into the hearts of many a Republican:

"I am making a last appeal to the Legislature. If the Senate does not make provision for the sufferers in the State and the Federal Government refuses to aid, I shall invoke the powers I hold and shall declare martial law. ... A lot of people who are now fighting [relief] measures because they happen to possess considerable wealth will be brought in by provost guard and be obliged to give up more than they would now. There is not going to be misery in this State if I can humanly prevent it. . . Unless the Federal and State governments act to insure against recurrence of the present situation, I hope the present system of government goes right down to hell."

It was my understanding that we're supposed to be a successor state to the United States.

If that's the case, I'm not sure why the GM is basing regional numbers off of current RL numbers.
