Guest James Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 "The people of the District of Columbia are once again being used as pawn in a national political game," said Ilir Zherka, Executive Director of DC Vote. "This bill is a clear violation of basic democratic principles. The people of DC did not elect Rep. Franks, or any other members of Congress who could vote to impose this federal intrusion upon DC's local autonomy. If Representative Franks is so intent on using federal power to advance his personal beliefs, perhaps he should craft a similar bill that applies to Glendale, AZ." Rep. Franks is scheduled to introduce the bill Monday, January 23. Quote
