“My family and Friends are treated unjustly everyday by the government of the United States. I live in Washington D.C. which does not have voting rights in the House of Representatives. Consequently, its citizens are left out of important decisions about the way America is run. It's difficult to understand our rights as American citizens when I know some will not be afforded to my family, friends, and neighbors because we live in Washington.”
