International Supporters
-- Tell the IOC: "Let DC Play!"

(As seen in the Washington Post!)

Mike Panetta, Potential Olympian and DC Fighter for Democracy! We need your help to take a stand for our rights and strike a blow for democracy in the District of The DC Team Columbia.

Please take a minute, and use the form to the left to send a message to the International Olympic Committee. We need them to support our efforts to field an Olympic team for the District of Columia. They've approved teams for the other territories of the United States, like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, why not DC?

Please support democracy. Take a minute now, and send a message to the IOC. Tell them to officially recognize us. Tell them to: LET DC PLAY!

Your Letter

Subject: Support an Olympic Team for the District of Columbia
Dear [Lawmaker]:

I am writing you today to urge you to support and officially authorize the efforts of the "DC Olympic Committee" to field Olympic teams for the District of Columbia (DC).

The people of DC have been denied the rights of full citizenship within their own nation. They have not been permitted to vote for members of Congress, and they have even been denied home rule and control over the affairs of their own city. In short, the people living in the District of Columbia have been treated as foreigners in their own country. Accordingly, I ask that the IOC do the same – and recognize the rights of DC citizens to form their own Olympic committee.
Sincerely,

Your name
Your street address
