Yesterday I noticed this important committee now has it’s own webpage<\/a>. I have been involved with this committee since it’s inception earlier this year and feel strongly about making sure as many people as possible know about it. If you are a DC resident or concerned citizen interested in becoming involved, please e-mail Amy Bellanca ( abellanca@dccouncil.us<\/a> ) to be added to her “citizen stakeholder” e-mail distribution list. <\/p>\n

The next meeting of the Special Committee on Statehood and Self-Determination<\/a> will be on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at the UDC Law School and will involve a discussion with the students about DC Statehood and voting rights. This committee will also be involved in planning some DC Statehood events next year that I am very excited about. A big thank you goes to Chairperson Michael A. Brown<\/a> for his steadfast leadership on this committee.<\/p>\n
