Republican Calendar Adds January and February
Sept(7)ember: seventh month
Oct(8)ober: eighth month
Novem(9)ber: ninth month
Decem(10)ber: tenth month
January the 11 month
February the 12th month, the last month of the year that changes from 28 to 29 days trying to make up for the errors in the calendar syncing with the natural time of the Sun.
So then MARCH 1 should begin the NEW YEAR!! (Wait! Spring Vernal Equinox is usually later in the month of March?, Maybe we should just throw the calendar away and watch the sky. ) :)
Probably should watch the sky but until then March 1 is still much closer to the true New Year than January 1.
Just rip January and February off the front of your calendar and stick it in the back. Much better.
Also research Ides of March:
It was was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts. In the earliest calendar, the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the new year. March was also the occasion of the Feast of Anna Perenna, a goddess of the year (Latin annus)
whose festival originally concluded the ceremonies of the new year. The
day was enthusiastically celebrated among the common people with
picnics, drinking, and revelry.
Remember in 2013 Congress passed legislation allowing the federal government to fund and create propaganda they knew could be used to manipulate Americans on American soil. This legislation was called The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act.

Help NoGOV rebut the propaganda with commonsense.
