Common Cause Urges Congress to Pass D.C. Statehood Legislation HR 51
With a vote expected today, Common Cause is urging the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the โWashington, DC Admission Actโ (HR 51) to give residents of the nationโs capital a full say in the governing of the nation. In a letter to every member of the House yesterday, Common Cause emphasized the legislation is about more than having voting Members of Congress, it is about the more than 700,000 Americans residing in Washington having a voice and being heard.ย
