Welcome to the website of DC's official second party.
It's time to give attention to the second party in DC... The Statehood-Greens.
After squashing the third-party GOP in the 2006 election cycle, almost doubling
them in total votes, our party is determined to win major victories.
The republicrats are not the answer...take a look around
our site to see what makes us different. Our platform clearly shows where we
stand on important issues such as healthcare, living wages, the environment,
and other community matters important to everyday people. We are not a corporate
party and thus none of our candidates or officers accept corporate bribes. We
look forward to building our peace party with you.
Statehood Now!

Testimony
COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
We oppose the reopening of Klingle Road. The $2 million proposed in Mayor Fenty's budget for this project should go to serving essential needs of the community. Lets proceed with planning for a DC Congestion Charge, with revenues going to lowering the cost of using mass transit in DC.
COMMITTEE ON HUMAN SERVICES, Mayor's proposed DHS Budget
The Mayor's budget is woefully inadequate to meet the challenges of reducing poverty in our community, especially in a recession, which combined with rising fuel and food prices is a depression for low income folk and indeed much of the working class majority of DC. We must raise more revenue by hiking the DC tax rate of the top 5% income bracket of DC residents. The TANF benefit should be increased above the federal poverty level, and the minimum wage should be raised to a living wage.
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE AND REVENUE, PUBLIC HEARING, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 2008
Our plan: reduce taxes for low income and working class residents, raise them for the top 5% income bracket of District taxpayers who make $200,000 and more a year.
