Nay

I refuse to return to a holiday that honors only one man for the accomplishments of millions.  There is a reason Presidents Day came to replace Washington and Lincoln's seperate birthdays

Vote count

Aye 8 (Lewis, Happy, Jas, Torie, Al, Bacon, PiT, Sensei)
Nay 1 (Dwtl)
abstain (voted) 1 (Andrew)

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

     Because of MLK's birthday or just because you don't like the idea of having these holidays?

     Anyway, I call for a vote to override the veto.

do you really want to call it "disgusting" to honor perhaps our greatest civil rights leader? Perhaps "misguided" would be a better word for you to utilize here?

No, its really disgusting to say that King is solely responsible for civil rights, its downright disrespectful to Rosa Parks, Cesar Chavez, Malcolm X, etc.

-I don't like making lots of new holidays
-I don't really care about MLK Day. Though renaming it "Civil Rights Day" may be wise.

So the veto's really about WWII, and adding MLK was just not enough to sway you?

Ahem. Anyways.

The vote is on the override motion. Please vote aye, nay or abstain.

(Note: I'll get to updating the noticeboard and opening debate on three new bills tomorrow morning, my time.)
