Make Election Day a Paid National Holiday
Make Election Day a Paid National Holiday.
Why is this important?
Electing the President of the United States is one of the most important events we participate in as free citizens of a democracy, and yet we have to "find time" to vote between job, parenting an other assorted responsibilities.
If Election Day became a paid National Holiday, more citizens would have the opportunity to vote without the penalty of lost wages in the event of long election lines, bad weather, or employer intimidation.
Our democracy will be more viable, because more citizens could participate, if Election Day were a paid National Holiday.
