My friends, where in the world can you find five Wawa locations, zero
Sheetz locations (?), and more than half a MILLION taxpayers without
voting representation in Congress?

Washington, D.C.

The fact is that it is home to nearly 700,000 people, including a majority
of Black and Brown residents, who have built families, lives, and
livelihoods in the District.

Yet the people of D.C. have been *deeply* disenfranchised by their lack of
representation in Congress throughout history. The GOP loves to cry wolf
on D.C. statehood, but we all know they’re terrified of what will happen
when the oppressed are finally heard.

So I’m telling you right here, right now: It is far past time to stop this
racist policy of “taxation without representation” and give the people of
D.C. the political representation they deserve by making Washington, D.C.
the 51st state.

now?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll sign!

The good news is that there’s a loooot of momentum growing behind D.C.
Statehood. It’s been growing for years, and it’s coming to a head now. The
U.S. House of Representatives just passed legislation to make Washington,
D.C. the 51st state, which is great news.

Now, it’s up to the Senate to take up this bill and work to get it passed.
The Senate GOP may very well try and block it. If they do, Senate
Democrats should abolish the filibuster to get it done.

If I were in the Senate right now, you can bet that I’d be fighting like
hell for D.C. Statehood. On a landmass that *literally* has more residents
than bonafide states like Wyoming and Vermont, absolutely no voter should
be taken for granted.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign my Official D.C. Statehood petition now, and let’s show
just how powerful support is for representation for ALL Americans. No
taxation without representation, my friends.

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll sign!

Thanks,

John
