Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, D.C. Star, ½ million citizens wonder where you are. It should be closer and not so very far from securing American citizens a shining D.C. Star.

Many don’t know that D.C. functions as a State, no voting representation in Congress, what a disgusting fate. Taxation without Representation is so archaic. Why oh why, should we continue to say it.

Many D.C. soldiers go off to fight in the war, while the US Senate recently voted, Voting Rights out the door. Statehood4DC, that's the way we should go. Second class citizenry must be killed on the floor.

USA cites democracy is why we proudly fight. Then deny DC’s taxpayers their basic Human Rights. One million dollars was paid for D.C.’s Emancipation. Yet, we still strive for true freedom and wait in anticipation. Self government and equal rights is what US citizens deserve, anything less is shameful to observe.

America, true democracy has to begin today. A star on the flag would be the ultimate hooray.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, D.C. Star. USA citizens wonder where you are. Congress, FREE DC and vote us in as a State. Colonial status should not continue to be our fate. The last plantation must receive true representation. Full democracy should not be on vacation.

People all over the world, think it’s quite a mystery. Why STATEHOOD4DC hasn’t become the latest US history. D.C. citizens pay the highest taxes in the nation. Yet equal protection under the law continues to be on vacation.

Join in and rally with pride, Equal Rights and Justice is nothing to hide. We must all get involved, true Freedom and Democracy should be worked on and solved. Free D.C. and Stand Up for Democracy, STATEHOOD4DC should be the ultimate Victory.
