I then scrapped the birthdays, because those things are about more than individuals. Not even joking, I feel like both of those men would feel like making their birthdays official federal holidays would be completely missing the point of what they were saying to us.

So I junked three off the bat and couldn't come up with any replacements.

Edit: Wait, had an idea. We could make a federal holiday that falls on election day, but call it "Civil Rights Day" or something. Make that day a celebration of our rights and liberties as Americans in an effort to get people all patriotic and jazzed to vote.

I actually think New Year's Day is one of the only ones I wouldn't touch. Nothing partisan about it. Regardless, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, it's one we can all celebrate without division.
