This petition is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the District of Columbia.
The people of Washington, DC deserve the same rights as Americans living in the 50 states.
We want full voting representation in the US Congress and an end to Congressional interference in our local government.
We can do this by creating the 51st state from the residential and commercial areas of the District of Columbia, preserving a smaller federal district as the nation's capital.
End taxation without representation and support voting rights for the people of DC!
