I'm not necessarily advocating that DC become the 51st state, but I want my voice and vote to count. Today we got a little closer. It's a new day...
Today the Senate approved the DC House Voting Rights Act (shout out to Maine's senators who have been kicking some ass lately.) It's been a long time coming and it's a first step down a fair and just path. The legislation is now on to the House where it will hopefully sail through and then to the President's desk where it's expected to be signed. It could hit a wall if it goes to supreme court, but tonight we celebrate.
