John,
Big news: The House of Representatives just passed a bill to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state — a huge step towards giving hundreds of thousands of D.C. residents voting representation in Congress.

The bill now heads to the Senate where Republicans like Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham stand in fierce opposition against statehood, even without any credible arguments.

Between their voter suppression laws in Georgia and across the country, radical partisan gerrymandering, and a flat-out refusal to give D.C. residents the right to equal representation, the GOP is doing everything in their power to hinder the democratic process.

Defend the Senate is on the front lines fighting back. Please make an immediate contribution to support our work to expand our Democratic Senate majority and make meaningful progress on issues like D.C. statehood.

It’s clear that Republicans oppose statehood and an expansion of voting rights because they fear giving political power to American citizens that might not vote their way.

But the time for D.C. statehood is now, John.

D.C.’s residents pay more taxes than residents in 22 states, yet they are unable to control their own budget or own laws.

Democrats are fighting to ensure the residents of Washington, D.C. receive the representation they deserve.

Chip in right now to help power our fight in the Senate to protect Democratic incumbents, win open Senate seats, and defeat vulnerable Republicans.
