“The Last Battlefront: Quest for the Vote in Washington, D.C.” – Free film and panel discussion, Ohio Wesleyan University Hamilton-Williams Campus Center Benes Rooms, 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 17
The 700,000+ citizens of Washington, D.C. do not have a voting representative in Congress, despite paying federal taxes, serving in the military, and having all the other obligations of U.S. citizens. Come see the free one-hour film “The Last Battlefront: Quest for the Vote in Washington, D.C.” showing at the Ohio Wesleyan University Hamilton-Williams Campus Center Benes Rooms on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. This non-partisan documentary highlights four turning points in D.C. history and the struggles of D.C.’s residents to restore their basic right of self-government that other Americans enjoy. A panel discussion will follow the film to dig into the issues and provide ideas for simple actions you can take to spread the word across the 50 states about this modern example of taxation without representation.
