We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Our nation is the only democracy in the world that denies the residents of its capital city voting representation. The more than 600,000 people in Washington D.C. have lived and worked in our nation’s capital without voting representation for too long. In the next week, Congress could have another opportunity to right this wrong by passing the http://civilrightscoalition.org/ct/D12LZkp13atr/">DC Voting Rights Act (H.R. 1433), a bill that would give the District of Columbia its first voting member in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congress must here from you TODAY to make a difference and ensure that D.C. residents are given this basic democratic right!

Use the form on the right and the letter below to email your representative NOW and urge him/her to quickly pass the DC Voting Rights Act (H.R. 1433). 

This historic piece of civil rights legislation can finally realize America’s democratic ideals for the residents of Washington D.C.

Your voice can make the difference. Email your Representative now!
