I agree that weekday events lower the crowd numbers. However, I object when conservative organizers latch on to traditional family holidays like the Fourth to stage their events.

The Fourth of July is a togetherness "family-reunion" type of day......relatives come over bringing great dishes, there's barbeque-ing, R & R, gab fests on the patio, maybe kids in a pool, then some sparklers and little fireworky things, then watching the sky for the firework displays from the town park or the neighbors' back yards.

The rallies should be scheduled for weekends for better attendence figures, not on American holidays.

Would they schedule Tea Parties on Christmas day? It, too, is a day along with the Fourth that commemorates a momentous birth.

I took my daughter to the rally and it was definitely a family event. I cannot imagine a more appropriate way to celebrate the 4th than at a tea party!
