Recognizing the service of all District of Columbia veterans, condemning the denial of voting representation in Congress and full local self-government for veterans and their families who are District of Columbia residents, and calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51 and S. 51), particularly in light of the service of District of Columbia veterans in every American war.
Why?
Every bill carries a core record (title, sponsor, latest action) that Concord fetches up front. The detailed sections — cosponsors, action history, subjects, titles, and summaries — live behind separate Congress.gov endpoints, so they're fetched on demand rather than for all 50,000+ bills at once. Until a bill has been enriched, those sections stay empty.
