I'm a DC Resident, and today I paid a big check to the Feds for my taxes, like I do every year. Each of the last 16 years, I've not had anyone I can call who has my back on the Hill. DC's 700,000 residents are disenfranchised. It sucks, and it's bullshit, but it's also fixable. Admit DC as a State. It's just that simple.
