We here at FDC are done with this whole “run FamousDC for fun” thing. We’ve decided to run for Congress.

You see, we always thought being a Member of Congress involved never ending fund raising, weekly air travel in coach and lots of kissing babies. Instead it looks like you get a free trip to the Caribbean every year just for wearing that ole Congressional pin.

Please take a minute to donate a few dollars to the FamousDC Congressional Exploratory Committee.
