Get Congress' attention: Shut down bridges

WASHINGTON - A candidate running for the District's non-voting delegate's seat in Congress has a drastic idea to get lawmakers focused on D.C. statehood.

Doug Sloan recommends shutting down the commuter routes into the city.

"If you really want to talk civil unrest, if you want to talk about shutting the city down and doing something that's really going to get Congress' attention, there's about six or seven bridges between D.C. and Virginia," Sloan said on The Politics Program With Mark Plotkin on WTOP Friday.

"You take about 40 or 50 concrete Jersey barriers and you shut those bridges down for a day. You get those people's attention on Capitol Hill."

Sloan, who wants to unseat Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, says Congress needs to know how serious the city is about getting statehood.

"We need full voting representation for all of the disenfranchised residents of the District of Columbia."

DC is a city, not a state. Give it back to Maryland and Virginia

Why use the Jersey barriers, just get his supporters to lie down on the bridges and block them with bodies.
