It Is Long Past Time for DC Statehood
02/11/20- 700,000 DC residents have no vote in Congress. They pay the most in federal taxes per capita and their residents serve in every military branch.
- 30,000 veterans live in Washington, DC and have fought for their country. Yet, when they return home, they have no vote in the government they just fought to defend.
- Fact Check: No other democracy in the world deprives its citizens of equal rights just because they live in the nation’s capital.
- DC’s population is larger than Wyoming and Vermont, and has met all the constitutional requirements for statehood. The 700,000 residents living in DC deserve equality.
- This nation was founded on the rallying cry “No Taxation Without Representation.” For 219 years, DC residents have gone without a voice in their own government, despite paying federal taxes.
- The federal government collects more in taxes from DC than it does from 22 states. DC can support itself.
