Outrage! From the New York Times:
Citing security concerns, two senators who sit on the Congressional committee in charge of inaugural ceremonies appealed on Tuesday to the mayor and city council of Washington, D.C., to reverse a decision to keep bars in the city open until 5 a.m. during inauguration week.
One senator leading the charge is Robert Bennett of the anti-drinking Utah, so at least that makes sense. The other is Dianne Feinstein from California -- what the heck's up with that?
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DC Mayor Adrian Fenty needs to stand strong! Can you sign this petition to him today?</span>
Petition: "Mayor Fenty: The people voted overwhelmingly for change, and we want to celebrate that change big-time! Stand strong -- don't back down on 5 a.m. bar closings during Inauguration week."
Sign here.
The media and mayor Fenty will be informed of the rising number of signatures.
