Is there any particular reason why they don't have the same representation as other districts? I'm not too familiar with all of the intricacies of the US gov. system, so forgive my ignorance. They're not a state.

Right, but aren't they represented through Maryland?
Edit: I mean, I understand that it was annexed by the fed. gov., but isn't it technically still Maryland territory?

Yeah, only states elect (voting) representatives, and D.C. is not part of any state due to not wanting to give any state extra influence or something like that.

My thought on the issue is that they redraw the borders to place the residential areas of D.C. in Maryland, leaving only the government offices in the District of Columbia. The official population of Washington, D.C. would consist solely of the First Family.

I'm not sure that's even possible (notwithstanding that the city also borders Virginia), although I don't know exactly how intermixed the zoning is in the city.

not dumb Oh, but she's not really Christian, she's a servant of the Devil, because she doesn't listen to God's words that condemn gays. It might be hard to believe (or not), but that is damn close to what I've actually heard said about a straight Christian who supports gay rights. It's not an exaggerated sentence in the least.

You douchebuckets, when was representative government ever abridged? We've got something called midterm elections coming up soon, but most of you pork-brains will probably not even realise it, instead spending your day masturbating to your persecution fantasies.
