发帖数: 5309 | 1 U.S. House leadership has endorsed statehood for the District of Columbia,
including language in the first bill filed in the new Congress that backs
the idea of allowing senators and a representative, all with full voting
rights.
The Democratic-controlled House on Friday included statehood for the
District in a sweeping package of voting rights, campaign finance and ethics
reform. It was the first time in a generation that House leadership has
endorsed the issue.
At the same time, newly sworn-in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
issued a lengthy statement in support of a separate statehood bill filed by
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), the District’s nonvoting representative.
“For too long, the residents of the District of Columbia have served our
nation in uniform, paid taxes and contributed to the economic power and
success of our country while being denied the full enfranchisement that is
their right,” Pelosi said, calling statehood “a critical step in righting
this historic wrong.” | S******g

成立新的州容易。

加州左渣，基本是洛杉矶的千万低端人口。
加州拆分后，很可能会出个红州(orange county，圣地亚哥和中部成为南加州，就很可
能翻红）。
