If Hurricane Earl does not ruin it, Labor Day is this weekend. Labor Day is not the "unofficial last day of summer". It's a day set aside to celebrate the American Worker.
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

It's also happens to be the traditional start of the election season as November comes rushing forward. The Corporate Media has already named the Teabagger Republicans winners. In order for that not to happen, the Democrats just need to get excited. This is the spark to get Democrats fired up and ready to go, once more.
