Dear John,
This
is more than a political battle; it's a fight for the very heart of
our nation.
The Framers of our Constitution envisioned a federal capital that
stood independent, ensuring all Americans could engage in national
affairs free from state influence. But now, senior Democrats are
pushing for something unprecedented – turning
Washington, D.C., into a state.
This isn't just about adding a new state; it's about radically
altering the balance of power. Two more liberal senators would tip the
scales permanently, jeopardizing conservative values and policies.
We
need 10,000 Republican Patriots to join us before
midnight to show the Democrats that we will not stand
idly by while they attempt to rewrite our Constitution for political
gain.
Remember, D.C. statehood isn't just a political maneuver; it's a
constitutional issue. Walter E. Washington, D.C.'s first elected home
rule mayor, warned that separating the city into a state would erode
its very fabric. The district-as-a-state would lack critical
industries and amenities, making it reliant on other states or the
federal government – a situation unique among states.
Opposition to this idea isn't rooted in racism, as the Democrats
would have you believe. It's based on practical, historical,
and constitutional grounds. The Justice Department has
clearly stated: "Statehood for the District of Columbia is not a
racial issue. It is not a civil rights issue. It is a constitutional
issue that goes to the very foundation of our federal union."
So, let's stand together, as proud Americans, to uphold
the vision of our Founders and protect the integrity of our
nation. Add
your name immediately to our petition and be counted among those who
cherish our Constitution and our Union.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
