Who we are and why we are here!

We are The Quadrennial Council.  A group of motivated individuals focused on improving the living conditions of quadrennials (leapers) everywhere.  Leap Day 08 is our campaign to end the unjust stripping of rights of quadrennials the world over.

People born on leap day suffer more than most know.  Not being able to celebrate a birthday yearly, actually legally limits our rights.  We aren't able to drive until we literally turn 16.  We have had some go legally blind by that time - actual age of 64.

We aren't able to vote, drink, and many other age-based activities legally due to the circumstances of our birthday.  What's worse, is that many of us suffer from age related confusion because of this.  Many of us are forced to identify and interact with people one-fourth our age, because we simply don't fit in with the general public.

We are calling for Leap Day 2008 to be the LAST leap day, and want the government to add a February 29th to every succeeding calendar year!
