Washington's Home - Down the river from DC
Sen. Reid: The Senate has three days left before going on a month-long break. They have a lot on their schedule, but need to find time to pass S. 1257, DC House Voting Rights Act.
Sen. McConnell: We need you to agree not to lead the first filibuster of a voting rights bill since 1964 - 43 years ago. That was a shameful episode in Congressional history -- both Democrats and Republicans were to blame. Do the right thing now.
Washington, DC was named after George Washington, who lived down the river at Mt. Vernon (see photo). Does anyone think he would have wanted to fight for our nation's freedom and then allowed his neighbors up the river to lose one of those freedoms?
