Something is missing

Put DC in this building

The U.S. Capitol Building is filled with Senators and U.S. Representatives from all over the country -- but there is no one from the vibrant city surrounding that building.  At least no one who can vote and truly represent the 580,000 people in the city.

The US Senate has a chance to correct that injustice.  S. 1257, DC House Voting Rights Act is sitting, waiting for their action before they leave for the monthlong August recess.  We've got a majority in the Senate supporting the bill, but need more votes to overcome a filibuster that woul delay and kill the bill.

Here's one thing you can do to help if you live in the DC area: Join the DC Voting Rights Coalition for a rally outside the Senate office building tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon.  Click for more info.
