Today as my first act of the 116th Congress, I signed and introduced
#HR51 to make DC the 51st state, the only way to grant more than 700,000 taxpaying American citizens living in our nation’s capital their full democratic rights.#DCStatehood pic.twitter.com/MFCWl0sQYN -
#NewYearsResolutions 1. Read more 2. Tweet more 3. Make#DCStatehood happen. -
The 116th Congress will be sworn in today & the 700,000+ people of DC are denied voting representation in it. It’s unfair, unjust, & undemocratic! Only
#DCStatehood grants us equality. pic.twitter.com/KQfRCI71RD

Wyoming has about 200,000 fewer people than Washington DC. North Dakota has just over 700,000. The residents of Wyoming & North Dakota have full democratic rights while the people of DC do not. Taxation without full representation is tyranny. It's time.

Because the 700k people who are residents of DC have no representation in the US Senate and no vote in the House. That's more people than 2 states.
#DCstatehood is the only permanent way to ensure equality for DC. -
We want to encourage the congresswoman to reach out to local activists who have experience with
#Nonviolent#DirectAction campaigns for help in establishing another prong of#DCStatehood strategy. -

Since Mayor Bowser has enlisted the help of hard working women and men of
@DCDPW & others to pitch in, it is actually “taxation and sanitation without representation”#DCStatehood -
Just drove by a major portion of the National Mall. I didn’t see one trash can overflowing and lots of committed
@DCDPW employees making sure federal property is clean for residents and visitors. You’re welcome feds.#HR51#DCStatehood -

It won’t go anywhere, well not until DC becomes majority white, which is way it’s trending, then DC will get
#statehood. But Rep Horton doesn’t have vote in#Congress (hence us#DC residents being taxed w/o representation) but none the less good she introduced it.
