This is simply the most pathetic sort of pandering to Hispanics.
Name streets and schools after him but we do not need another federal holiday.
Chavez’s daughter was on CNN last week pushing this idea, there is already a website up in support of it.

No.
In fact, we should make it a twofer, like Lincoln & Washington being combined into President's Day.
Cesar Chavez and Eugene V. Debs could both be honored!
If we held it on May 11, the anniversary of the Pullman Strike, it would be pretty close to Chavez's birthday of March 31, and even closer to his death date of April 23.
That should be close enough for government (non)work!
As do I.
Make Obama a Martyr and have a holiday?

Maybe we can get Obama a position with the UFW, and he can go about hauling cases of California Grapes up on to trucks. Workers of the World Untie? Obama is about as proletarian as his outed white grand mother.
How can Obama talk commie worker talk , when he can't bowl, and is a flaming Dem Aristocrat of John Kerry's ilk?
Obama is so far ahead in the Dem race, he can now afford to be ludicrous.
I hope John McPain is taking notes.
McPain gonna give dat boy one hell of an ass kickin'.

Hmm...A Ceaser Chavez holiday? Ok... why not have Lenin’s birthday, Karl Marx’ birthday, Fidel Castro’s birthday, Mao’s birthday and Kim jung Il’s birthday as American holidays, too.
I guess we should stop celebrating PRESIDENTS Day - since it is Ameri-centric.
Amen, brother...Amen.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to plagiarize your “Pander day” at some time in the future...I’m sure I’ll have plenty of chances to use it. It made my day when I read your comment. Thanks for the smiles.
With my compliments, use Pander Day!
In some locales, that would be Election Day..
