Your Members of Congress

Site created and managed by Mike Panetta, U.S. "Shadow" Representative (D-DC)

Subject:

Dear [Lawmaker]:

I am writing to voice my support of the District of Columbia Voting Rights Act. I ask that you become a co-sponsor and work to enact this important legislation that would give the residents of the District of Columbia a voting member of Congress for the first time.

This bill, which passed the House of Representatives in the 110th Congress, will address an injustice that has existed for over 200 years. There are over 600,000 people living in the District of Columbia who have no voting representation in Congress. These fellow Americans pay taxes, serve on juries, and fight in wars. As we fight for democracy around the globe it is shameful that we deny Americans living in the nation's capital the fundamental representation in their own government.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this legislation.

Sincerely, Your name Your street address City, State Zip
