There are many credible on-line sources that talk about the truth of who Christopher Columbus was. The abridged version is well documented by The Oatmeal in this web comic: Columbus Day. Essentially, he was the father of the international slave trade.

I propose that we repeal the federal holiday "Columbus day". And instead inact "Election Day". Election Day would be a federal holiday on the first Tuesday that follows the first Monday of November. This would hopefully encourage more people to vote.

Sounds easy doesn't it? That's because it is. Our President should raise awareness, and our Congress should make it legal. Simple.

Thank you all for reading,
