people who liked john mccain... did you know this? the bill in question was making mlkj day a federal holiday.

"When it came up for the Senate vote, John McCain (R-Arizona) was one of the 22 senators who voted against it. Even after the bill?s passage and Reagan?s signature, various states refused to recognize the holiday, with Arizona and New Hampshire being the last two holdouts. It was not until 2000 that Martin Luther King Jr. Day was officially observed in all 50 states."
