House Approves A Full D.C. Seat – The Post
I am really pleased to see that the House passed a bill that giving the District representation in the House of Representatives. Tom Davis (R-Va.), who championed this particular voting rights initiative, had this to say:
“I am pleased the House has voted to endorse a key principle of what it means to be an American – that those who pay taxes and fight and die to bring democracy to Baghdad and elsewhere deserve voting representation in Congress…”
“As a Republican, I am not willing to bear the shame of failing to try to resolve this matter after 200 years,” Davis said. “The Republican Party was formed as an answer to divided politics, political turmoil, arguments and internal divisions, particularly over slavery. We exist as a party to increase representation and liberty in this country, and in this world.”
I hope the Senate listens to what he has to say and passes the their version of the bill so it gets sent to the President’s desk.
