BREAKING Devastating report that @Sen_JoeManchin D-WV opposes #DCstatehood US #VotingRights bill 2021, by @WashingtonPost @Meagan_Flynn.

DC must pivot to holding US House in 2022 & winning as many GOP held US Senate seats, especially open seats PA & NC.

@V4DC2 #DCstatehood News Service 2021-2022 to-do list for #DCstatehood US #VotingRights bill passage still has open items.
1) get record US Senate cosponsorship (5 US Senators to get, AZ, AZ, NH, ME, WV).
2) get @SenatorSinema to help pass the bill out of @HSGAC committee.
3) get a US Senate cloture vote in US Senate to force ALL US Senators on official record on #DCstatehood US #VotingRights bill.

4) bludgeon re-election of all US Senators voting no on this massive wedge issue #DCstatehood US #VotingRights bill in 2022, 2024, 2026, & forever.

DC's US Congresswoman @EleanorNorton D-DC rejecting lie that uniquely (>38x harder) ratifying US Amendment would be needed instead of US Congress just passing 3rd partition US IV-3 #DCstatehood bill like proven 1846 & 1946.

Official Statement of @V4DC2 #DCstatehood News Service:

Enforcing the unifying ideals of our Republic as beautifully & concisely phrased in the Preamble of the US Constitution & US Constitution as amended, especially democracy & equality, requires passing the #DCstatehood bill.
37 US states have been admitted to the Union with simple US IV-3 statehood bills passed in US Congress. DC seeks passage of such a bill, 3rd time partitioning DC & using US IV-3 to promote removed areas to full statehood, as proven in 1847 & 1946 (Alexandria Co DC, & DCA).
There are no procedural reasons to reject fair & speedy #DCstatehood bills such as #S51 2021. There is no procedural reason to instead wrongly claim a supposed requirement of unneeded >38x harder US Amendment, other than mislead voters & certainly delay & likely forbid democracy.
