P.G. adopts resolution supporting D.C. statehood

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

While New Hampshire rejected the notion of D.C. statehood, despite the personal pleas of council members and the mayor, a jurisdiction closer to home is supporting the District’s statehood bid.

The Prince George's County Council adopted a resolution Tuesday that declares support for admitting the District as the country’s 51st state.

“It’s the right thing to do,” County Council Vice Chairman Eric Olson said. “We want to be supportive of our neighbors and colleagues and try to help their efforts.”

Mayor Vincent C. Gray and five D.C. Council members testified before the New Hampshire politicians in January as part of a state-by-state effort to put pressure on Congress to recognize full voting rights and budget autonomy for the District. The measure was sorely defeated.

No formal statehood lobbying effort was conducted in Prince George’s County, which shares a border with the District. Rather, Mr. Olson said the District’s plight was mentioned several times to him and other County Council members by D.C. politicians as they met at events around the area.

“We were aware of their efforts to go out to states and get support. That was certainly a big part of the impetus for this,” Mr. Olson said.

RESOLUTION

A RESOLUTION concerning

District of Columbia - Statehood

For the purpose of declaring support for admitting the District of Columbia as the fifty-first State of the United States of America.

WHEREAS, the United States of America was founded on the belief that all people are endowed with certain inalienable rights and that to secure these rights, governments are instituted, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed; and

WHEREAS, the rights of the residents of the District of Columbia are abridged when the United States Congress imposes its will on local matters and denies voting representation on federal issues in both houses of the United States Congress; and

WHEREAS, the people of the District of Columbia are the only Americans who still bear all the responsibilities of citizenship, including local sovereignty, without representation in both houses of Congress, making the District of Columbia, in effect, a colony under Congressional jurisdiction; and

WHEREAS, Statehood will ensure that residents of the District of Columbia enjoy full sovereign rights in state and local matters, voting representation in both houses of the United States Congress, and an unrestricted vote for President, comparable to every other citizen of the United States of America; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the County Council of Prince George's County, Maryland, that it declares support for admitting the District of Columbia as the fifty-first State of the United States of America; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Council of Prince George's County, Maryland, urges Congress to use its powers to admit the District of Columbia as the fifty-first State of the Union;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the Council shall transmit signed copies of this Resolution to the Maryland Congressional Delegation, the District of Columbia Delegate to the United States House of Representatives, the Prince George’s County Delegation to the Maryland General Assembly, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and the Chairman of the Council of the District of Columbia, so that they may be apprised of the sentiments of the Prince George's County Council, Maryland on this matter.

Adopted this 28th day of February, 2012.

COUNTY COUNCIL OF PRINCE

GEORGE'S COUNTY, MARYLAND
