Americans living in our nation’s capital pay the second highest per capita federal income taxes; serve our country during war; and are subject to federal laws. Yet they have no vote in the US House or Senate, no ultimate control over how their money is spent, no voice in decisions of war and peace. All locally passed laws, and the District's local budget, must be sent to Congress for approval. DC Vote leads the coalition that has brought the DC voting rights movement closer to victory than at any time in the past 30 years: legislation passed the House in April 2007 and is currently being filibustered in the Senate. Maintaining a vigorous public awareness and media campaign, educating students nationwide with a civics lesson that has immediacy and power, serving as the source for information on DC voting rights, and enhancing advocacy efforts in Congress are all key. DC Vote works to bring American democracy to America's capital. Here is your chance to cast a vote in support.
