Pelosi and Hoyer Stand Up for DC Voting Rights

Days after President Bush was asked about DC Voting Rights at a news conference, the question came up at another, different, news conference on Capitol Hill -- Nancy Pelosi and the new House leadership.

When asked, Pelosi said she was a cospsonsor of the bill and would support it in the lameduck session.  Then Steny Hoyer of Maryland stepped up and gave a ringing endorsement, saying he would work hard to get it passed.  You can see the CSPAN clip here.
