Cannot Find My Senator

To The Honorable Eleanor Holmes Norton:

I cannot find my Senator.  I know why.  I live in the District of Columbia.  We don't have a Senator, let alone two, like everyone else in the country.  So I am wondering, who do I write to in the Senate to voice my opinions about proposed legislation?  Do the other Senators have a responsibility to listen to me and count me as one of their constituents?  And not to be insulting, but who am I supposed to write to in the House of Representatives as you do not have a vote?

As I only recently became disenfranchised by moving into the District from Virginia (and before that I was a Marylander from birth), I am at a loss as to what to do.  I suppose I could move away again, but that really wouldn't solve the bigger problem.

The city's unique status creates a situation where citizens in the District do not have full control over their local government, nor do they have voting representation in the body that makes such decisions.

Why is it that Congress get to make decisions that clearly could and should be made by the citizens of the District and we cannot even have the three votes every other citizen in the United States has to give us a say in that.

Thank you for your time, Congresswoman.  I look forward to hearing from you on this issue.

Sarah Gray
