We're correcting 200 years of wrongs
perpetrated by US Congress against the 550,000 US Citizens who
call District of Columbia home. We've taken our case to the United
States courts for relief. We're suing for full voter representation, equal
treatment, protection from Congress, and the right to choose our
own democratic, republican form of government. All other citizens in the
States take these rights for granted.
Background
For two centuries now, Congress
has exercised remarkable control over the citizens
of District of Columbia. While the Constitution grants
Congress extensive powers over the district in which it placed the
"seat" of the Federal government, the unfortunate
result of Congress' use of these powers is that the citizens of the
District are deprived of many fundamental rights of
citizenship. Such rights are taken for granted by everyone else in the
United States.
