Would increase the size of the House to 437

1. Like Utah should have more votes? Yikes.

3. I think giving DC a vote would be worth it - besides, Utah ain't ALL that bad

:hi: <--- in Utah

2. I have decided to oppose this bill

I support voting representation for DC in both houses of Congress, but this bill also gives Utah another electoral vote in the presidential election (which DC already has). Utah may very well get their new seat after the 2010 census, and that's fine, if that's what the census warrants, but it seems like Utah is just trying to get a do over because they didn't get all of their overseas Mormon missionaries counted in 2000.

4. No one should be without representation, so I can agree with this.

It seems pretty non-partisan when you have such ideologically different areas getting help with the same legislation. Good for them.

5. I'm with you

6. kick happening now
