DC voting rights is on the line tomorrow: Senate vote to end the filibuster on S. 1257, DC House Voting Rights Act.

Today, a press conference and rally in support of the bill outside Senate office buildings.  Fuzzy photo shows the bald head of Mayor Adrian Fenty, the white head of Jack Kemp, a Republican champion of DC and to the right Ilir Zherka, head of DC Vote and the head of the Kentucky NAACP, here to lobby Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader who's leading the opposition.

McConnell is well-known to Common Cause.  He fought campaign finance reform for years - tenaciously, smartly, but wrongly.  He's tough to beat, but we did it then - we can do it now.

Call you Senator today and urge them to vote NO on the filibuster.  NO to a filibuster blocking the fundamental right of Americans to taxation without representation!
