Give 550,000 Americans in D.C. a voting voice

I urge you to vote for H.R. 5388, DC Fair and Equal House Voting Rights Act, which will be considered by the Government Reform Committee on Thursday. The DC Voting Rights Act will give the citizens of the District of Columbia voting representation in the House. The bill was introduced by Representative Tom Davis (R-VA) and Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and has both Republican and Democratic cosponsors. We believe this bill is a fair and politically viable way of correcting an injustice that has existed for over 200 years. The committee has an opportunity to make history, to bring more than half million Americans fully into our democracy, where they belong. The citizens of the District of Columbia deserve the same right that all other Americans have to be represented in Congress. DC residents pay federal income taxes, serve on juries, and die in wars to defend American democracy. DC citizens are currently serving in the armed forces in Iraq, fighting for new democratic rights for Iraqis that they do not enjoy themselves. Please vote for H.R. 5388, the DC Voting Rights Act, and give the more than half million Americans in the District a vote in the House. I am just saying D.C. should have the right to vote, it after NYC and Philadelphia the capital of the U.S. The Capitol dome was made in Motthaven in the Bronx, NY and assembled for President Lincoln for just over 1 million dollars. That was after the fire in the Library of Congress and they replaced it with an all cast iron one in 1859, which has been replaced as the Library grew, covered up I read. Janes and Kirtland last had an office in the Seaport and made the ubiquitous steel kitchen cabinets still in many apartments in New York City. I know if I didn't have a vote, I'd have so much to complain about, I'd be bonkers.
