Getting Closer!

The latest update about voting rights for the citizens in Washington, D.C. from The League of Women Voters:

DC Voting Rights Is Moving Quickly

The District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2009 is moving quickly through Congress. The Senate passed the bill late on February 26. Despite this victory, the fight is not over yet. In fact, it has only just begun! The House of Representatives is slated to begin debate on the bill and a vote is expected to be scheduled as soon as possible.

In order to keep you updated on all the happenings with the legislation in the House (HR 157) we're going to be posting new alerts and information on our site regularly. Click here to go straight to our action page. Check back often so you can be sure Congress knows you support DC Voting Rights!

Also, please send this message to other concerned citizens - your grassroots network, friends and coworkers. Encourage them to contact their Representatives today!
