DC Voting Rights Act

DC Voting Rights Act

The Issue

Senators will vote on the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act (S.160)   :)
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.

Or, email them, at LCCR   :)

Our nation was founded on the belief that every American should have a voice in governing this country.  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.
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.

Should D.C. Get a Seat in the House? Tell Congress   :)

Send a letter, or email them, at Congress.org   :)
