UPDATE: Prince of Popville has planned a sled-in at 1 pm. 

Alright fam,

We fought Great Britain to win our independence. Our forefathers shouldn’t have had to die in vain. We should be able to sled down Capitol Hill in the middle of a snowstorm.

Seriously.

Congress went into recess yesterday. All the Members of Congress are wheels up. The tourists aren’t here. Everything is closed.

We have the city all to ourselves.

How awesome would it be to grab your selfie stick, your sled and cruise down Capitol Hill making memories to share with everyone on Facebook and Instagram?

Join us! Sign the petition here.

Big ups to Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, Lyndsey Medsker and Doug Heye for getting this movement started.
