Vote yes for DC statehood!

This really should have gone with my early voting picture, but I got caught up with Halloween instead. There is an initiative on the DC ballot to make the District of Columbia the 51st state of the union. At present, we have no representation in the US Congress and can truly claim “Taxation without Representation,” which our license plates say. It will never happen regardless of the vote because Congress will never give up its fiefdom rule over the District.

In the spirit, posted earlier:

The most that DC residents could hope for is incorporation into Virginia or Maryland.

this seems odd...DC is basically a city as far as I can tell, and the seat of federal power...as such it's influence is felt world-wide...wondering just what gaining state status would do to improve anyone's life...

How interesting This is something I had wondered about, but had no real idea there was a move afoot.
