The other day I received an email from some of my disenfranchised activist friends in Washington DC. They were encouraging me, and others to write to our congress people to support HR 1433 To provide for the treatment of the District of Columbia as a Congressional district for purposes of representation in the House of Representatives, and for other purposes..

Before I wrote my email to Rep. Shays, I thought I should take a closer at the bill. It has an interesting set of co-sponsors. From California, it has Maxine Waters, Henry Waxman and Darrell Issa. Talk about crossing the political spectrum! It has Steve Rothman from New Jersey, Jerry Nadler from New York, John Conyers from Michigan, and even Steny Hoyer from Maryland.

So, who is supporting this bill from Connecticut? So far the only cosponsor is Rep. Shays. So, I’ve actually sent Rep. Shays a message complimenting him on this. Perhaps other people in the State can get the rest of the Connecticut delegation on board.
