Bill 118 HRES 446, also known as the "Recognizing on Memorial Day, May 29, 2023, the denial of full participation in their Government through statehood by active duty servicemembers, National Guard members, reservists, veterans, and their families who are residents of the District of Columbia," is a resolution that aims to acknowledge the lack of full representation in the US government for residents of the District of Columbia who have served or are currently serving in the military.The resolution specifically highlights the fact that residents of the District of Columbia, including active duty servicemembers, National Guard members, reservists, veterans, and their families, do not have full voting rights in Congress due to the district's status as a federal district rather than a state. This lack of representation means that these individuals are not able to fully participate in the democratic process and have their voices heard in matters that directly affect them.
By recognizing this issue on Memorial Day, May 29, 2023, the resolution aims to bring attention to the sacrifices made by these individuals in service to their country, while also highlighting the ongoing struggle for equal representation and statehood for the residents of the District of Columbia. It serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring that all Americans, regardless of where they live, have equal access to representation in their government. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 446 is a non-partisan resolution that seeks to raise awareness of the lack of full participation in government through statehood for residents of the District of Columbia who have served in the military, and calls for action to address this issue in the future.
