YOU—YOU OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Are subjected to Taxation without Representation—without a voice or a vote in the levying of the taxes which you pay— Without a voice or vote in the making of any of the laws of your country— Without a voice or vote in the vital issue of peace or war when the Republic, as it so often has been in the past, is confronted by grave emergencies— Without a voice or vote in respect to any issue whatsoever which the rest of the country—the enfranchised citizenry of the United States—has a right to determine at the ballot box. i YOU—YOU OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Have a duty—today—now—a duty from which the members of the Boston Tea Party did not shrink— The duty to voice your demand for National Representation, for the right to have District of Columbia spokesmen in Con- gress— The duty to call for the privilege of participation in the election of President and Vice President— The duty to ask access to the Federal Courts, access not denied to citizens of the States nor to aliens— The duty to appeal to Congress for a square deal for Washing- ton, fgr relief from the un-American disabilities under which it now s:Ters.
