Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of the Cinco de Mayo holiday.

YourVoice.Now Summary

Nothing changes day to day — the House would honor Cinco de Mayo and urge people to mark May 5.

The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. The House would honor Cinco de Mayo and the fight of the Mexican people for freedom. May 5 marks the day in 1862 when an outnumbered Mexican army beat French troops at the Battle of Puebla. The House would also urge people here to mark the day with ceremonies and events. A House resolution like this one has no legal force. It does not go to the Senate or to the President. No money is spent and no rule changes.

Congressional Summary

This resolution recognizes the historic struggle of the people of Mexico for independence and freedom, which Cinco de Mayo commemorates, and encourages the people of the United States to observe Cinco de Mayo.

Like reading a bill in plain English?

We're building an app that does this for every bill in Congress and lets you tell your reps how you want them to vote. We're a small team getting ready to launch, and we're trying to show investors that real people want this. Be one of them. Help us get it built. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the app is ready.

By default, we'll only email you once — when the app launches. Unless you opt in below, you won't receive anything else. We don't share or sell your email.
