| This is a critical week for the DC House Voting Rights Act (H.R.157)! We want to move this bill forward before Congress recesses on April 4 and we need your help to do it. 
If you live outside DC, please call your House members RIGHT NOW and urge them to vote for a "clean" DC Voting Rights Act. Click here to find your representatives and then call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202.224.3121. Live in DC? Please see our note below. This bill passed the Senate and is now stalled in the House due to a proposed amendment to repeal DC's gun laws. Unfortunately, similar legislation passed the House last fall with broad support. Click here for that roll call vote (and for a list of key democratic targets). The controversial amendment threatens the DC Voting Rights Act at a critical time when momentum is building to pass this bill. Calls from constituents like you can make the critical difference! - Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard TODAY at 202.224.3121.
- Urge your representatives to support a DC Voting Rights Act free of harmful amendments.
- Tell them that the central focus of this bill - granting DC residents a vote in Congress - is too important to dilute with harmful amendments.
NOTE: Are you a DC resident? Forward this message to friends, family and colleagues in the states and urge them to call! Or, if you have personal connections to a member of Congress or their district, please call these offices yourself. Every call can make a difference! |
