On the recordSeptember 30, 2003
I respond to my friend from Massachusetts, it is no wonder that people who live in the District of Columbia have bumper stickers that say, ``No Taxation Without Representation.'' It is no wonder that the people, hundreds of thousands of people who are American citizens, who live in the District of Columbia, are treated like second-class citizens. They do not even have a Senator. They have a nonvoting delegate. I say to my friend from Massachusetts, it is no wonder that people of the District of Columbia believe they are being treated like a stepchild. Are they part of this great country? People who live in the Nation's Capital can't do things that every other citizen in this country can do.
