"Bring Democracy Home" - Honoring the Soldiers & Veterans of Washington, DC

"Bring Democracy Home" is an educational video highlighting the service given and sacrifices made by District of Columbia residents serving in the United States Armed Forces. From the American Revolution to the War in Iraq, the people of Washington, DC, have always been willing to serve to protect the ideals of American democracy. Yet, these men and women continue to be denied voting representation in the U.S. Congress who asks them to put their lives on the line in the name of democracy. With the hope that one day soon all Washingtonians will have the same rights as Americans living in the states, DC Vote dedicates this video to the soldiers and veterans of Washington, DC, and to their familes, neighbors, communities and loved ones.
