[/caption]Washington D.C.'s delegation brought their biggest issue at home to the floor of the DNC today. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton spoke this afternoon about the District's lack of a vote in Congress. Tomorrow, they've planned a protest, in conjunction with D.C. Vote, at the Denver Mint. The protest is in response to the mint rejecting the proposed flip side of the D.C. quarter, which included the slogan, "Taxation Without Representation." D.C.'s quarter will now feature city planner Benjamen Banneker. We'll bring you protest coverage tomorrow.
Below is an excerpt from Del. Norton's address to the delegates.
