Our Beloved Veterans in the US, Rally Around the Flag!
People, especially vets around the country, rally around the cause for DC statehood. We have fought and died beside you when duty called for us to rally around the US flag. Support our cause for statehood. The Movement is 210 Years Old - A TimelineThe fight for equality for the residents of Washington DC started in the very early 1800's when the Organic Act of 1801 established the U.S. Capital to include the cities of Alexandria, Georgetown, and Washington. Having only just recently fought the Revolutionary War to attain their freedoms from the Crown along with the rest of the citizens of the United States, the residents of these cities found themselves stripped of their own home rule and full representation in Congress! It didn't have to be that way. 47th Anniversary of the March on WashingtonStand Up for Democracy fully endorces the 47th Anniversary of the March on Washington. We feel the goals of that march cannot be said to have come to fruition until there is statehood (full equality) for the residents of Washington DC. |
