Why not make Thomas Jefferson's birthday (4/13) a holiday?
It's long overdue! Why don't we celebrate it on the second Monday in April?

2. There is no federal holiday celebrating the birthday of any woman. Susan B. Anthony Day should
be a federal holiday. THAT is what's long overdue, IMO.

"The Susan B. Anthony Birthday Act will allow all women and men in the United States to celebrate and honor her legacy."
