With Washington, D.C. pushing President Biden and Congress to use their Control to make the District a State, the Conservative Group FreedomWorks has been Posting Yellow Anti-DC Statehood Signs around the City, that say “Make D.C. Maryland Again”.

“The best, most realistic path to guaranteeing representation for the residents of D.C. includes returning the majority of the District of Columbia back to Maryland,” said FreedomWorks President, Adam Brandon.

The Group in the Anti-Statehood Campaign, is hoping of drawing attention to both Local and National Efforts to join the City with Maryland as a potential Solution.

The District was created from Land offered by Maryland and Virginia, though Virginia got its Land Back. The Founders created it as a “Federal Town” and eventually it Won the Right to Govern most of itself.

Critics have Demanded that Citizens have the Same Representation in Congress as States, but their effort has never Won before.

The FreedomWorks Campaign has already Won some Attention on Twitter.

Martin Austermuhle, with the Local NPR sSation WAMU, tweeted, “In a practical sense, D.C. statehood is certainly complicated. What happens with the judiciary, currently funded by the feds, is one pressing question. But allowing D.C. to become a state is 'much' easier on a practical level than retrocession would be.”

But Brandon argued, “D.C. residents deserve to have equal representation in Congress, but making D.C. a state is not the way to achieve this--in fact, doing so would be a blatant violation of the Constitution.”

Opposition to Statehood has long been a part of the Republican Platform because it’s likely that its Two New Senators and House Member would be liberal Democrats, possibly creating a Permanent Democratic Majority in the Two Chambers.
