Psycho Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 WHY DC DOES NOT DESERVE STATEHOOD OR A VOTE IN CONGRESS The United States of America has six territories and they are: 1. American Somoa; 2. District of Columbia; 3. Guam; 4. Marianna Islands; 5. Puerto Rico; and 6. Virgin Islands. Why should the District of Columbia and not the other five get a vote in Congress or even statehood when the others are not being offered such? Why should the District of Columbia which is the only US territory that has had more exposed corruption, mismanagement and economic woes requiring a federal bail-out and/or a control board get a vote or statehood when none of the other five territories ever had such problems? The people of DC are no different than the 6,000,000 people in the other five territories except, they have done a better job of ruining their city by allowing corruption, cronyism and nepotism to flourish to the point of making most District agencies dysfunctional. The District of Columbia should only get a vote and/or statehood when Congress is prepared to offer such to all six of its territories at the same time or not at all as the District of Columbia has been an embarrassment to the rest of the USA.
