[QUOTE="QueenServilla, post: 306829"] ...MLK's BD a national holiday? In his first year in the U.S. House, McCain voted with the minority and opposed the 1983 law creating the national holiday to honor King, but reversed his decision around 1990 after he says he â€œlearnedâ€ more about Kingâ€™s achievements. As he fought for an Arizona state ballot measure to recognize MLK Day in 1990, McCain successfully pushed former President Reagan to endorse the referendum. In a February 2000 interview with ABC News, McCain said his initial opposition to a holiday was based on his belief that â€œit was not necessary to have another federal holiday, that it cost too much money, that other presidents were not recognized.â€ Canam: Yes McCain was not the only one, but right now he is the ONLY ONE running for President.
