Millions of U.S. citizens cannot vote

So, I've seen a lot of political nonsense the last few years about guns, constitutional rights, religion, abortion, etc. Rarely do people have a rational stance on it. It's generally some emotionally charged, logic free, argument with a total lack of comprise.

However, while you sit there and argue your points, are you aware that over 4.5 million US citizens and nationals can't even vote? Before you say, "well that's only 1.5% of the population, who cares?" it is completely unacceptable to be able to die for your country, pay taxes and live under the rules of a nation, without proper representation. So say the founders of this country that people like to quote about freedom, representation, etc when it so fits their agenda.

I have been guilty of ignoring it for a few years. I am writing to support the territories and Washington D.C. getting the same voting rights as other citizens, if not being made states.
