I support the goals that Common Cause wants to attain but they appear naive if they believe that a simple petition will get people the vote in DC.
Therefore I tell people in the District of Columbia to do the following in order to force the US Congress to allow people to vote for 2 Senators and one representative who will then have voting powers in congress:
I urge people to boycott every Exxon gasoline station and every Mobil Station in the Washington DC area. This means you do not buy gasoline nor do you get your car repaired there as well. Exxon/Mobil Corporation appears one of the large Republican party contributors of money. Call your local Exxon and Mobil station and demand that the company executives get the Republican party chairman Ken Mehlman to hold a press conference stating that the congress will pass legislation and that the president will sign a law allowing DC residents to vote for 2 senators and one representative who will have voting power in the congress. Then the congress must pass and the president must sign this into law. Until then you will boycott Exxon and Mobil Stations.
Unlike a petition, a boycott will get DC residents the vote.
