STEP #2: THE MESSAGE:

Dear Councilmember:

Please protect my rights to quietly enjoy my home in the District of Columbia. Please SUPPORT the "Noise Control Protection Amendment Act of 2007 (B17-0177)," now pending before the D.C. City Council.

To further protect residential areas and free speech in public spaces, please also support the amendment which measures the noise "inside the nearest occupied residence in districts zoned R-1A, R-1B, R-2, R-3, or R-4."

Your support will help ensure all D.C. residents have the right to quiet enjoyment. Thank you and I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

D.C. Resident and Voter
