Not to the symbolic end of summer or the start of school
per se, but yes. Congress returned from its August recess this week and will start once again debating healthcare reform. If you're going to make a speech the purpose of which is to try to refocus and influence the debate, seems logical to do it when Congress has just come back to town and before everything starts again in earnest. I think my 6th-grader would say "well duh."
But hey, if it completes your world to think that there was some nefarious scheme to have middle-schoolers from across the country flooding Capitol Hill with letters advocating for a single-payer health care plan, then by all means live your dream.
