Please remember those of us who live in the District, love DCA, push a lot of business through DCA, and have no voting representation in Congress. We can't pressure our congressional reps to vote in favor of getting rid of the perimeter rules, but you can pressure yours. And I hope that you will. DCA is a fantastic airport and has the infrastructure to support more flights beyond the perimeter; I can't name a single person who actually likes going down I-66 to IAD during rush hour, and I know many who take a one-stop from DCA rather than a nonstop from IAD. It's a shame that some of the most affected people in this issue have no way to contribute to the decision.
