Washington D.C. Deserves Equal Rights
Target: US CongressSponsored by: DC Vote
Like all Americans, the 600,000 residents of the District of Columbia pay
income taxes and serve their country in times of war. These are teachers, firemen, businessmen and women, and all of
them are citizens of the United States.
Yet for more than 200 years, District residents have been denied voting representation in Congress, the very body that controls every aspect of the city's judicial, executive, and legislative functions.
Time has come for Congress to end taxation without representation.
Tell Congress that you support bringing democracy to Americas Capital!

Is America still living in the Medival Ages? It is absolutely shameful that in the year 2007 there are still people in America denied a voice.

It is ironic that these people live in the capitol of our country and yet do not have repreentation in the Congress, in their very own city. That is unfair and keeping it that way is clearly a plan to maintain the status quo.
