DC Statehood?

Posted on July 30, 2007 in Uncategorized

Just a note to those who call for DC Statehood… this is neither a statement in favor of nor in opposition to the idea. Yet especially as a vote is expected in the Senate this week – and as I was told by someone (who will remain nameless) that there was overwhelming support… I would like to publish the result of my poll.

Again, I can only speak to those who read my blog and chose to participate in my poll. The results are interesting:

What is your opinion on DC’s slogan “Taxation Without Representation?”
I am in favor of DC Statehood. (0%)
DC residents should not pay Federal taxes. (50%)
It beats my state’s slogan. (50%)
