Be a part of this exciting campaign by sharing your story about why you demand the vote for Washington, DC. Our experience has shown that when people in the states are reminded that regular people call the District home, they are more likely to support our cause. That's why we want you to tell your story. We�ve also launched a dedicated Web site: www.i-am-dc.org. This is your forum to tell us why YOU demand the vote! You can share your story, read other people�s stories, download the advertisements and more. In our travels to the states, we want to share your personal stories with constituents. They need to see how people like you are impacted by DC�s denial of democracy. Everyone is facing tough times and full agendas right now�with your help, we�ll be able to elevate the profile of DC voting rights in key states and on Capitol Hill. Are you DC? Do you demand the vote? Tell us why at www.i-am-dc.org! Then, spread the word to friends and family by forwarding this e-mail, sharing the ads with others or posting them to your Facebook profile. Together, we will show the nation and world that the movement for DC voting rights is alive and well!
