The 700,000 residents of the District of Columbia have no representation in the House or the Senate because they aren’t an official state.
John, democracy means equal representation FOR ALL. But for the 700,000 residents of the District of Columbia, they have no representation in the House or the Senate because they aren’t an official state.
[1] Republicans HATE the idea of deep blue D.C. having equal representation, they want to BLOCK statehood at all costs.
[2] BUT Democrats are RALLYING to get D.C. equal representation. They want to make D.C. a state with two Senators and House representation!!!
[3] So we need 25,000 signatures to show WIDESPREAD support for giving D.C. residents equal representation in our federal government.
