Voting Rights for D.C.

Listen Thursday, Feb. 23, 2006 at 1:06 p.m. in DC Voting Rights, Politics, Society

First there was the "Taxation without Representation" license plate. Now, there's a D.C. Olympic Committee that wants to send a team to the world games. The two projects are just the latest in a series of schemes to draw attention to the District's lack of Congressional voting rights. Join Kojo for a look at their impact on the capital's long-running push for the vote.
