Jason DeRusha asks how does a day get dedicated? This prompts, or perhaps was prompted by, efforts to get Jason his own day, including a Web page and an online petition (the atter of which yours truly is reponsible for.)
What sort of dedicated days does Minnesota lack? What should be be celebrating and honoring more?

I seem to be stalled at 84 signatures on the petition. I think if I get more than 100, the mayor of Minneapolis will have to declare a DeRusha day. Like the wedding dance couple, I promise to use my day for good.

There are thousands of people out there holding off just so that they can be the 100th signer.

an online petition; that’s a lot of work. If we’re talking a poll:
do you agree that JD should have his own day
A. Yes
B. No
I probably would vote A…probably.

I’ve done my civic duty now and I’m proud to be a DeRushanista.
