Democracy Project Appeals to President Bush
In a letter dated, January 25, 2001, the Democracy Project
appealed to fellow United Methodist, President George W. Bush, for
help in bringing full democratic rights to the people of the District
of Columbia. We received a very non-responsive letter back from the
President's scheduling secretary. Read our letter to the President,
the White House's reply, and our response here.
President Clinton Speaks Out on D.C.
Voting Rights
In the last weeks of his presidency, President Clinton showed
his support of D.C. voting rights. The President recently ordered the
Secret Service to put new license plates on the Presidential
limousine. The new license plates bear the the motto that appears on
all new license plates in the District of Columbia: "Taxation without
Representation."
In addition, while preaching a farewell sermon of thanks to the congregation at Foundry United Methodist Church, he expressed his support for equal political rights for D.C. (Read an excerpt from that sermon here). We can only assume that the work of the Foundry Democracy Project has not gone unnoticed by the First Family while attending worship at Foundry!

of the United Methodist Church recently passed a Resolution

Columbia.. Read our letter to the United Methodist Members of
