Hello Councilman Allen, I don't live in D.C. but I was born and raised there and my daughter and son-in-law bought the family home in Brookland. I think it is a great idea to support the opponents of congressmen who don't support DC's autonomy but why not start now by communicating with their constitutents using fairness as the hook. Ask them to put themselves in the place of DC residents. I would not mention statehood because that could be a turn off for some but just that DC residents pay taxes, don't have representation which is bad enough but they can not even control their own money. I would close by asking them to call their Representatives and tell them to keep their hands off DC. Thank you, Paulette Granison Savoy
