This appears to be such good news that I don’t even really want to look too much into the details, for fear of being disappointed. Apparently:
U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the incoming speaker of the House of Representatives, supports District voting rights and is a co-sponsor of legislation that would give Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) a full vote in the House, a spokeswoman said yesterday.
This is significant, as Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA) has been pushing this bill, too. I’ve been, since I moved to Washington, an adamant backer of DC voting rights. Virginia’s recent expression of its apparent inability to respect my basic human rights has given me serious reason to consider moving back into the West End. DC getting voting rights would cinch that. So, c’mon, Harry, get with it. Let’s see how serious Bush is about this whole democracy thing.
