DC Voting Rights Act

DC Voting Rights Act

I pledge to...

Senators&nbsp;will vote on the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act (S.160)&nbsp;&nbsp; :)<br />
<p>Call your senators toll-free at 888-999-6775* between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, and urge their support of the DC Voting Rights Act.<br /><br />Or, email them, at LCCR&nbsp;&nbsp; :)<br /><br /><a href="http://civilrightscoalition.org/campaign/DCVRA2009_Senate">http://civilrightscoalition.org/campaign/DCVRA2009_Senate</a><br />&nbsp;<br />Our nation was founded on the belief that every American should have a voice in governing this country.&nbsp; However, for the nearly 600,000 residents of the District of Columbia, this is not a reality. Washington, D.C., residents pay federal income taxes and serve in the military, but do not have full-voting representation in the U.S. Congress. Passage of S.160 will remedy this injustice by providing Washington, D.C., residents with a full-voting member in the House of Representatives for the first time in our nation's history.</p>
<br />
<p>Call your senators today and tell them that voting representation is a fundamental civil right of all Americans - one that is long overdue for the District of Columbia.<br /><br /><br /><br />Should D.C. Get a Seat in the House? Tell Congress&nbsp;&nbsp; :)<br /><br />Send a letter, or email them, at&nbsp;Congress.org&nbsp;&nbsp; :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/alert/?">http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/alert/?alertid=12702446&amp;type=ML</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
