Advocate for D.C. statehood in the State of the Union Address.

The 660,000 Americans citizens who live in the District of Columbia fulfill all obligations of citizenship but are denied the most basic rights of citizenship: the right to full and equal congressional representation & the right to be the arbiters of our local affairs. Simple legislation would make the District the 51st state in the union. We urge President Obama take the statehood cause directly to Congress & the American people by advocating for D.C. statehood in his State of the Union speech. This cause is a moral cause and we ask President Obama to embrace it and advocate for it thus emboldening a cause that would ensure that the people of the District of Columbia are finally treated fairly and equally as citizens in the 51st state in the union.
