Vote. but see, not so much. because progressives are going to present a false choice to people. instead of saying do you want to be a state? its do you want the status quo? they vote no. next vote removes status quo from the ballot to leave statehood against two far less options and statehood will vote. so whoa! then they will elect their congressmen and their senators, theyll demand to be seated and you be sewing on a 51ststra star attached to the flag. how could this happen? well, the immigrat...

So, they said okay. thats how we had the 16th state. alaska did the same thing. kind of. let me restate. they elected delegates for congress, they voted on statehood and they drafted a state constitution, applied for statehood, went to the capitol and demanded to be seated. this is the key. it doesnt matter what happens in congress. it doesnt matter. doesnt matter. they demanded and they were seated. congressman, any congressman who votes for this, for some reason or another -- give them the ben...
