Governor Bill Richardson is the first candidate who has the courage to make a statement in support of HR 1434.  Please join him and notify your Congressman to vote in support of this important piece of legislation.  We can not let the Republicans deny our fundamental right of having representation in Congress.

Below is the approved statement from the Governor:

I am proud to support HR 1433, the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2007 , that will grant the District of Columbia a voting member in the United States House of Representatives.
It is long overdue that the over half million, tax-paying, and patriotic citizens of Washington, DC receive the same representation in our Congress as those living in the states.
