John --
Last month, I proudly voted to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state of the United States. Now, that legislation is heading to a narrowly divided Senate for a vote, so we need all hands on deck to make D.C. Statehood a reality.
Will you add your name now to call on the Senate to pass D.C. Statehood? It's time D.C. residents have a voice in the People's House. It's been time.
The battle for D.C. Statehood is a racial justice AND voting rights issue. At least 46 percent of the city's residents are Black, but not a single D.C. resident has a voting member of Congress.
John, that is blatant taxation without representation. It goes against one of the founding principles of American democracy.
Every single American deserves to have a voice in the House, especially with important issues like justice in policing, climate justice, and voting rights on the line. D.C. has more residents than Wyoming or Vermont, and it pays more federal taxes per capita than any state.
We're done waiting. Add your name to show your support for D.C. Statehood. It's time we set right this historic wrong.
Thank you,
Dwight
