OK, so her rendition of the national anthem last July may not have been great, but Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has a special place in our collective heart — turns out she’s a supporter of D.C. voting rights. Courtesy of Shadow Representative Mike Panetta and Shadow Senator Paul Strauss, we’re happy to see Hayden doing her part for our cause.
The PSA above also serves as a welcome reminder to donate to the Statehood Delegation Fund on your 2007 tax return. The money goes to Panetta, Strauss and Shadow Senator Mike Brown to fund their noble efforts at promoting voting rights and statedhood for the District — and is the only money the volunteer reps get.
