DC Voting Rights Act - Montana Toolkit

Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) is blocking a bill that would grant DC residents their first ever vote in the House of Representatives. Nearly 600,000 veterans, teachers, union workers, firefighters, police officers, and homemakers live in our nation's capital and pay taxes. Yet, they have no vote in the Congress that governs them. Sen. Baucus is filibustering a bill that would give these tax-paying Americans a vote in Congress.

Sen. Baucus has the opportunity to stop this injustice. As a Montana voter, you are uniquely positioned to lend your voice in support of voting rights for DC residents.

Tell Sen. Baucus that you are a Montana voter who cares about your fellow Americans living in Washington, DC. Tell him to stop his filibuster and support the DC House Voting Rights Act (S.1257).
