RE-ELECT
PAUL
STRAUSS
DEMOCRAT
U.S. SENATOR

The citizens of Washington DC pay federal taxes. We serve our country in the military. But, we are denied that most basic of American rights: to be represented in Congress, the same Congress that can overturn our local laws and changes our local budget at a whim.

That's wrong. And it's why DC voters created the non-paid office of Shadow United States Senator to lobby the U.S. Senate on DC's behalf. Senator Paul Strauss fights for us when the District's fate is being debated in Congress.

Ever since we elected him 6 years ago, Paul Strauss has been standing up to a hostile Republican Congress to fight for our civil right - a tough job when DC's interests are constantly under attack.

Whenever the U.S. Senate debates issues affecting our city, Paul Strauss has been there---fighting for us.

On Tuesday, September 10, 2002 Vote to Re-elect
Senator Paul Strauss in the Democratic Primary.
