Statehood for DC? Only the Greens......
http://www.dcstatehoodgreen.org//press/p
Interesting press release from the DC Green Party - apparently not even the democrats favor statehood for the district anymore. Sad to see disenfranchisement perpetuated.
One wonders why - with the high minority population and the general liberal trend of the populace, the democrats would stand to gain seats in the Senate and House. Yes, it might be difficult and tedious to admit another state into the Union, but if democracy were easy and quick, the entire world would have become a democracy 1000 years ago.
But democracy is slow, ugly, and difficult. However, considering the alternatives, I will stick with democracy, thank you very much.
Of course, perhaps DC should secede from the Union and only rejoin if they will have full state status?
Free DC!
