[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC resident here.[b]  I am sick and tired of not having my own Senators and Reps.  [/b]It sucks.  And DC gets screwed because of it.

Also, and not totally related, the Republican party has slid into fascism and wants to turn the US into Chile or Franco's Spain: a christo-fascist country, run by a handful of billionaires with free rein to pollute our water, leave our kids uneducated, expel the immigrants that are the lifeblood of America, and run our economy into the toilet.  They will do this by continuing to suppress votes, buying politicians with billionaires' money, and taking advantage of the anti-democratic structure of the Senate and Electoral College.

The only way to fix this, and save America and what it stands for, is to fix the Senate.  Making DC a state is one step down that road.

So, for both reasons -- giving representation to American citizens, and fixing America – I support making DC a state.
