Why Dems Want D.C. As 51st State

Washington, DC (TLS). Now that the Dems are back in control of Congress, the monstrous move to make D.C. the 51st state has raised its ugly head once again. The idea is preposterous and its proposed for one reason alone--to give the Democrats two more U.S. Senators.

With a population of just 582, 049 (2005 U.S. Census Statistics), Washington doesn't even rank in the top 10 U.S. CITIES, much less states.

In addition, the notion that D.C. doesn't have voting rights or representation is simply a lie. Citizens of D.C. vote for President just like all other areas of the country, and they have representation in the Electoral College. They also elect their own municipal government.

Residents of D.C., who are overwhelmingly Democrat and minorities, have been pushing for statehood. Their comrades in the House and Senate are listening. After all, this would instantly give the Democrats two more Senators.

The problem is, the entire scheme is a scam. If this is purely about representation in Congress, there is a much easier way. Give the bulk of the land back to the state of Maryland where it came from in the first place, or divide it between Virginia and Maryland. This way D.C. residents will immediately have their two Senators and their Representatives in the House.

What do you want to bet that this proposal will be deemed 'unacceptable?'

It is unacceptable because representation is NOT the real issue. The real issue is the underhanded scheme to gain more power for the Democrats, who will clearly benefit from D.C. statehood.

This is a plan that needs to be fought with all our might. It is dishonest, underhanded, and does not serve the country well at all.
