Eight D.C. Voting Rights Protesters Headed to Trial E-mail

Martin Austermuhle reported in dcist on May 5, 2011 "(e)ight District residents arrested in a number of recent protests for D.C. voting rights and autonomy are headed to trial, while nine others opted to pay a fine after appearing in a D.C. courtroom this morning for a preliminary hearing. ... To date, 55 people have been arrested in four protests for D.C. voting rights and autonomy. Activists promise more protests and arrests are to come, and serve the purpose of putting pressure on President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats to stand against any further riders that directly target the District."

Next year I’m going on strike E-mail

Former D.C. Council Member Carol Schwartz wrote the editors of the Washington Post on April 15, 2011, that "It has been 45 years since I moved to the District from Texas. When I arrived, I did not know about its taxation without representation. It just never occurred to me that this great, democratic country that fights for the right of people to vote around the globe would deny its own citizens in its own capital this same right. ... Next year at tax time, if I am still denied my right to vote in Congress, and no real movement is afoot, I am ready to deny the federal government my taxes."

Colby King on Congress's budget deal and D.C. E-mail

In the April 15, 2011, edition of The Washington Post, Post Op-ed columnist Colby King wrote about whether D.C. officials could have prevented Congress and the President from bullying the District of Columbia in their budget deal that kept both the Federal government and the government of their colony, the District of Columbia, from shutting down due to Congress's inability to approve any budget bills for fiscal year 2011.

Washington Post on "Bargaining away the District's rights" E-mail
On April 12, 2011, the Washington Post editorial board opined about the President and Congress giving away the rights of the District of Columbia in agreeing to prohibit D.C. from paying for abortions for poor women out of D.C. OWN local funds and in imposing a school voucher program on D.C.  Unfortunately, the Post editorial board thinks a probably unconstitutional vote for our nonvoting delegate would have made a difference. They seem not to understand that the ONLY reason Congress even sees D.C.'s budget and has any say on what is in it is because we are a colony and NOT A STATE.

Views of our colonial overlords - why we need statehood! E-mail

Congress, unlike the D.C. Council, has not done its basic job of funding the government and has not passed a single appropriations bill for this fiscal year which started over 6 months ago. Because the District of Columbia is a colony under exclusive legislative control of Congress and because Congress, our budget must be approved by Congress. So, even though the Council approved a balanced budget last summer, well before the start of the current fiscal year, the District of Columbia's government faced a shutdown along with the Federal government.

No other state or local jurisdiction in the country, including the U.S.'s other colonies, is subject to this.  Congress, as shown by the statements of Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) in the article below, also imposed on D.C. prohibitions and limitations on how we can spend our LOCAL tax money that do not apply to any other state or jurisdiction. The only way to avoid this situation in the future is STATEHOOD for D.C.  Please support D.C. statehood!
