Support H.R. 51: Grant Statehood to D.C.

As a voting constituent, I must urge you to support H.R. 51, the Washington D.C. Admission Act. 700,000 citizens, a population greater than Vermont and Wyoming, reside in Washington D.C. receiving no representation in congress. As such, their federal taxation is without representation. Admission of statehood is not a successionary movement as Maryland does not its population as residents, lay claim to the land in the District, impose state tax upon its residents, or represent them in congress. Please courageously stand for including the voices of all US citizens, support the residents of Washington D.C., and the institution of American democracy with your support for H.R. 51.
