A couple dozen members of DisruptDC, a new student advocacy organization calling for statehood and everything that implies for Washington, D.C. The organization set up camp on the beach at 1st Street and handed out fliers and literature explaining the cause to anyone who would listen. Some members of the group also took to the crowded Boardwalk under the banner of a D.C. flag decorated with its “Taxation without Representation” message.
District of Columbia voters have already approved a referendum calling for the creation of a new state called New Columbia, although federal lawmakers have not approved it.
The DisruptDC organization is taking the message to anyone who will listen, including residents and visitors to Ocean City on Wednesday afternoon. Spokesman Dan Lewis said the group did not intend to disrupt the daily activity on the beach and Boardwalk, but merely wanted to teach and raise awareness about the inequities for D.C. residents.

So cute. Next month they will be tucked in their dorm rooms leading white people are the devil and student debt is good.
DC should get statehood and the territories too. Besides, for consevatives it would bebefit. I for one think its fair and about time.
DC was established as it was so het it would not have statehood. Maryland and Virginia gave the land to create Dc. Virginia took theirs back. Maybe Maryland should do the same and dissolve DC.
12:05 - have you seen the idiots running DC? You want to elect another two of them to the Senate and give the entitlist but currently non-voting representative full credentials in the house.
Three more seats to the dumbocrat party - you must live there - and smoke everything they're selling on the streetcorners!
Keep drinking the entitlist kool-aid!
12:21 is correct. DC was set up as a Federal District so it would be free of the entanglements and priority shifts of the states. All these 'smarter than thou' types desiring a city become a state need to read and, more importantly, understand the 'why' associated with its status. But a couple days at the beach on someone else's dime are hard to resist.
Taxation without representation, that is what most of this country lives under
