Folks -- this is LONG overdue:

For too long, residents of DC and Puerto Rico have been overlooked. As citizens of the United States, they have every right to be able to cast a ballot and elect representatives for the betterment of their communities.

But that’s not the case...and Republicans are working HARD to make sure it stays that way.

There’s a reason Republicans are so opposed to adding states to the union -- here’s why:

In 2016, Donald Trump lost the popular vote by almost 3 million ballots -- but won the presidency through the Electoral College.

In 2018, Democrats received 18 million more votes nationwide than Republicans among Senate candidates -- but the GOP still maintains its majority.

The GOP benefits from voter disenfranchisement -- and they’ll do anything to keep power in their hands.

So this year, we’re taking back the White House, flipping the Senate, and giving DC and Puerto Rico the option to become the newest States!!

Will you add your name to show your support?

700,000 Americans in DC and more than 3 million in Puerto Rico currently lack representation in Congress -- all while paying taxes and contributing to the economy.

It’s absolutely unacceptable -- and we’re going to put a stop to it.

Sign on if you support statehood for DC and Puerto Rico:

Every American citizen has the right to vote -- let’s make sure they’re able to exercise it.
