d.c. house vote?

they're talking again in congress about giving d.c. a voting representative (article here). well it's about damn time. it's a travesty that 550,000 people in this country don't have full citizenship rights just because of where they happen to live. i mean, i know a lot of people here don't have full citizenship rights because of racism and language barriers, but at least they have de jure equal rights. and not only that, d.c. residents never been given a choice about it, like puerto ricans were 7 or 8 years ago. here's hoping the bill gets passed, so at the very least the d.c. m.v.a. can start printing license plates with a new slogan.
