March for DC Voting Rights

Demand the Vote!
Mayor Fenty

Marching, chanting, music - join us walking down America's Main St., Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, DC.  On Monday, April 16 @ 2:30 in Freedom Plaza (14th & Penn).  This will be the largest demo for democracy in DC in the history of the world! 

We've got DC's cool, bald new mayor Adrian Fenty leading the way and many other local officials - but we really need YOU!  This is not a stand-on-sidewalk and watch the parade kind of event - we're in a fight for DC to get representation in Congress, so we need you out on the street!

There are people, including in the White House, throwing around consitutional concerns about ways to give DC the vote.  WTF!?  Where in the the Constitution does it say Americans can't be represented in Congress?  Join us.  Demand the Vote!

Ed Davis wants more power for Democrats in Congre

Washington DC is predominately Democrats, this is why Common Cause and Ed Davis is pushing this forward. If DC was mostly Republican, Common Cause wouldn't be pushing for it to happen.

Oh boy, you're wrong

DC citizens deserve a voting representative in Congress.  Period.  To those of us who live in the District, or have friends or family in the District, it's not about partisanship - it's about fairness and justice.  If DC was mostly Republican, it wouldn't change the injustice of over half a million tax-paying citizens being denied the vote.  Bottom line:  I want my vote!  

To those who are trying to block this legislation, it IS often about partisanship, unfortunately.  That's why legislators struck a compromise giving Utah another representative.
