AU students will join forces with DC Vote to spread the word about claims that D.C. is in a state of taxation without representation, according to Frank Poppe, a freshman in the School of International Service. He is organizing a group of students to go to Capitol Hill to distribute fliers and information April 15, DC Vote's "Taxed Without Representation Day."
"I try to keep in close contact with DC Vote," Poppe said.
He said he would consider the possibility of organizing a permanent DC Vote group at AU.
DC Vote was supposed to hold a parade Tuesday, canceled it because of Pope Benedict XVI's visit. It decided that distribution of the information is the next best thing, Poppe said.
"It's an easy thing to do for a good cause," he said.
