THREAD: As our oldest hometown #FourthofJuly parade, I could not miss the chance to walk in the Palisades Parade, which attracts residents from across the DC. With our #DCstatehood House hearing on July 24th, District residents have much more reason to march this Fourth of July.

The District of Columbia pays the nation’s highest per capita federal taxes and has fought in every U.S. war. Soldiers from the District still go abroad to fight to defend our freedoms, yet they return home and have no representation in the government they fought to defend.

D.C. residents should march on July 4th to remind our country that the war to end Taxation Without Representation – our Revolutionary War – is not yet finished. And it will not be until our nation’s capital has equal representation in their own government.

We will not be truly equal with the states until the District achieves full statehood, which means equal representation in the House and Senate and full self-government for the District.

As we approach the July 24th House hearing on #DCstatehood, this Fourth of July has special meaning for the District. Let’s enjoy it. Happy #FourthofJuly!
