Protect and expand the Home Rule Act.

As your constituent, I'm writing to urge you to vote NO on any attempt to repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and oppose any attempt of a federal takeover of DC. Over 700,000 Americans live in DC, and they deserve the same right to elect their own leaders and manage their own communities as every other city in the country. Crime in DC is actually down this year, so this takeover is not about safety — it’s about stripping citizens of their democratic rights. Please stand up for local self-governance and publicly oppose this dangerous power grab. If you want to truly do the right thing, help get the people of Washington, D.C. full statehood with proper representation. Currently, they have taxation without representation and that's unAmerican.
