The PROVE Act, HR4851, is a bill that, if passed, results in US citizens living abroad being reclassified as DC residents. DC doesn't get a vote at the Senate level. Further, you aren't allowed to vote at all if you don't happen to have a US permanent resident address. I do not have one of those. I have a US address I can use, but it's not where I live so it won't qualify.
This bill will result in taxation without representation.
This is EXACTLY what your forebears fought for.
Contact your Representative and tell them the story of 100'000's of Americans abroad: We pay taxes, we vote.

This is what used to be a cafeteria at one of the IRS offices…

We can't speed it up, but we can help!
