Colbert, DC and Eleanor Holmes Norton

Stephen Colbert interviewing District of Columbia Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton - here it is on Youtube. This is a few days past, but so few people pay attention to the DC's lack of voting rights, I think it's useful to spread it around. Great "analysis" by Colbert of where DC stands in the nation. Painfully true, at least in many people's eyes.

But now, there's a chance to change that, to take a big step forward for democracy in DC. HR 5388, the DC Voting Rights Act, is gaining some steam on the Hill and there's a campaign to get DC representation in the US House before this Congress leaves for the year. Join us.  Take action. Fight for representation for more than 1/2 million Americans in our nation's capital.
