Kucinich on DC Rights

"It is wrong that the citizens of our nation's capital live, work, and pay taxes in the United States but have no voting representation in Congress. Denying them the right to use their tax dollars to lobby for correcting this injustice adds insult to injury. DC residents' city government is free to lobby Congress or state governments in support of virtually any proposal, no matter how wise or absurd, productive or misguided. The one exception, the one thing that DC cannot do, is ask for democracy. Promotion of representative democracy is banned in the capital of the world's oldest democracy, and this is accomplished through the cowardly inclusion of a rider in an enormous bill that provides spending for the federal government. When I am president, I will see to it that Washington D.C. becomes a state and spends its money as it sees fit."
