组织者在白宫网站发起请愿,要求将农历新年设定为美国国家假日。只有得到一定数目的联署后,
白宫方面会对请愿发表回应。据说2万5千联署就能得到回应。目前已有接近3万个投票,组织者的
目标是10万人。当然应该是越多越好。现在还剩下9天的投票支持时间。
我支持建立这个节日,可是俺觉得这事很困难。因为,除了圣诞节,除了亚裔的农历年外,其他族裔
是不是也要加上自己的传统节日?另外,俺觉得请愿书写的理由很不充分和缺乏深度和没有文化内涵。
没有说明为什么必须是全体美国人都要庆祝的国家节日。因此只能得到亚裔的拥护而难以得到其他人
的支持。应该让三GG执笔的
email account based, I can vote many times --- 拜晴MM所赐, 帅 |
俺怕被拍砖 |
除非您是老板,和广大群众想得相反 --- |
我还是投票支持了 --- |
但是绝对没有文采。恳请三GG出山 --- |
多一个节假日听上去是好, 如果在美的埃及希腊赞比亚朋友们也来申诉一下, 与山姆大叔建交的180来个国家和地区的留美朋友都按平等互利的原则来倡导 一个有自己祖国或民族特色的节假日并获通过, 美国日历上的国定节假日肯定 会热闹非凡. Such petitions may be psychologically appealing to each ethnic or national group making the petition for its sake to the White House, their approval is quite unlikely unless Congress is ready to approve most if not all such petitions that may rise. It won't be fair if U.S. Congress [or the White House] grants the petition to let Chinese Lunar New Year be a national holiday but denies all similar petitions by other ethnic or national groups in the USA. Congress or the White House however may designate or declare certain date in a certain year as a cultural heritage day. It can be for a large culture such as African, Irish, or Chinese - or a historically important or influential civilization such as Native American or Mayan. 日历上若有180天是体现各国各族风情的国定节假日, 谁来上班呢? |
过年好 --- |
