What Makes Tuesday so Hallowed?

One such reform I have advocated for many years is to change our election day.

Democrat U.S. Senator Herb Kohl should dust off this effort, given the meandering pretzel his Party has twisted themselves into over vote fraud and ballot reform.

Last year, the National Commission on Federal Election Reform, presented its recommendations to the President on how to improve the administration of elections in our country.

One of the Commission's recommendations was that we move Election Day to a national holiday, in particular Veterans Day.

As might have been expected, this proposal was not well received by veterans groups who rightly consider this a diminishment of their service and the day that historically has been designated to honor that service.

While I agree with the Commission's goal of moving election day to a non-working day, and I am interested in exploring the possibility of moving election to an existing Federal holiday such as Veterans Day, I believe we can achieve all the benefits of holiday voting without offending our veterans by moving our elections to the weekend.

In an era when the best the Democratic Party can conjure as a big idea is to find where Republicans stand, and throw tomatoes, moving Election Day is a big idea right up there with Republicans' call to rewrite the IRS tax code.
