The Hill: Political fireworks fuel DC statehood hearing! CNN: Arguing
against statehood for DC, congressman says it has no car dealerships (it
does)

Yesterday afternoon, Republican House members bullied and cut off
witnesses and claimed that DC's 700,000 residents should not be
represented in Congress because -- wait for it -- the District doesn't
have any car dealerships. It does. Then, a Republican witness claimed that
DC residents already impact the national debate because Members of
Congress see their yard signs on the way to work!

House Republicans did not want Americans paying attention to polling The
Progressive Change Institute released this morning showing DC statehood is
popular by double digits in swing states. (So are federal laws to override
Republican voter suppression in places like Arizona and Georgia.)

[ [link removed] ]See the polling House Republicans want to distract away from. Then,
make a tax-deductible donation to poll more states to make the case even
stronger for DC statehood and federal voting rights laws to override state
voter suppression laws. Click here.

DC currently can vote for president, but has no representation in the U.S.
Senate despite having more people than some states with Senate
representation.

If DC became a state, nearly a million people would (finally) get
representation in the Senate and Democrats would pick up two more
Senators. (Joe Manchin would no longer be the deciding vote.)

To convince Congress, we are making the case and mobilizing the public.

make a (tax deductible) donation to poll more states and keep building the
case for DC statehood and federal voting rights laws to override
state-level voter suppression laws. Click here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
