One suggestion for the date of the new holiday was June 5, for Adam Smith's birthday. But the most votes went for Nov. 9, the day the wall fell. So today I proclaim that date Freedom Day. I propose that discussion about the mode of celebration be put on hold until we get the holiday established. Because all the major presidential candidates participated in the Cold War, they should endorse the holiday.
Legislators ought to push for it.
Anyone who worked in a defense industry, or paid federal taxes from 1945 to 1989, ought to support it. President Clinton ought to go to the Reagan Library to endorse it. I met with Mark Burman of the Reagan Presidential Foundation. He says they are on board for a campaign. So should anyone concerned with the teaching of American history.
