It's a fundamental issue of civil rights. There is no form of voter suppression worse than having no vote at all. Yet over 700,000 full citizens of the United States live in Washington DC, and have no vote in the U.S. Congress.
The citizens fulfill all the duties of citizenship, including paying taxes, serving on juries and Selective Service registration, but they have no vote in Congress.
The American Revolution was founded on the premise of “No taxation without representation.”
DC pays more in overall taxes than 22 states, and the most in federal taxes per capita, but they have no vote in Congress.
It's time to fix this injustice.
