Students for DC Vote

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Spread the Word! Tell your friends about DC Vote on MySpace , Facebook and YouTube ! You can also feature DC Voting Rights on your Facebook profile by adding the Cause Application and then joining the DC Voting Rights cause . The Cause Application also allows you to easily invite your friends to join with you in demanding the vote. The more people know about DC voting rights, the more people will support it. Take a minute to encourage your friends to be our friend !

DC residents pay federal income taxes, serve on juries and die in wars to defend American democracy but are denied a vote in Congress. As we work to extend democracy around the world, the time has come to bring democracy to our nation's capital.

We urge you to support the DC Voting Rights Act (S. 1257) by writing or calling your Senators, writing letters to your local papers and volunteering in DC Vote's upcoming events. Learn more at dcvote.org .

About Students for DC Vote

Students for DC Vote work to raise awareness about DC Vote and the issue of DC voting rights on college campuses across America. Students from around the country become ambassadors for DC voting rights by educating fellow students on DC's denial of democracy.
