They represent different Single Member Districts. The Commission chair is elected by the other commissioners, and not by the voters at general elections.inkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350787243002946647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-13445656532157266802016-11-04T06:32:08.291-04:002016-11-04T06:32:08.291-04:0011:39,

Roberts has a pretty long list of accomplishments as a commissioner, and I know that he regularly hosts clean-ups and other events. Knowing the time and effort he puts into his commissioner work, I can assure you it is definitely not a resume thing for him. Henderson is certainly higher profile, but that's because she's highly vocal and puts a great deal of effort into self-promotion. Have you tried reaching out to him personally? I'd encourage you to do so. Here's his email address: 5D03[at]anc.dc.govinkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350787243002946647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-70340710393844014742016-11-03T23:39:19.285-04:002016-11-03T23:39:19.285-04:00I haven't witnessed Roberts do anything notewo...I haven't witnessed Roberts do anything noteworthy, or even seen him in the community for that matter. I wasn't a big fan of Henderson either but at least she had a presents in the community. In my opinion, this is just another title he can add to his resume. No offense, but I feel like his motives are not sincere. I just get a very egoistic vibe from him and most of the time his boyfriend is the one doing all the talking for him. So are we voting for Roberts or his boyfriend? I would like to see Roberts get out there more and interact with people who he is asking to vote for him. If he cant' do that, then I can't support him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-89157111365853301072016-10-22T02:25:09.704-04:002016-10-22T02:25:09.704-04:00Dont care if he kills puppies still wont vote for ...Dont care if he kills puppies still wont vote for the white guy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-66781964474541942552016-10-21T14:02:09.736-04:002016-10-21T14:02:09.736-04:00Sorry the address is dcbar.orgSorry the address is dcbar.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-73771351503583638522016-10-21T13:59:05.905-04:002016-10-21T13:59:05.905-04:00For the whole truth re James Q Butler, check out ...For the whole truth re James Q Butler, check out debar.org.

We would have to build a Governor's Mansion and a State congress building. The ANC members would each be a State Representative and the ANC chairpersons would become our State Senators until we have an opportunity to establish free and fair elections to replace them. We would also likely get a good state college football team going (any thoughts on a mascot?). There would be a lot of new jobs created as each of the state reps and senators would have to staff up and continuously raise money for reelection. Also, the State of District of Columbia would be able to once again recognize Georgetown, DC as an independent municipality within the state. We would be able to get funding to build highways that connect our municipalities within our state from federal highway money. We would have to change the slogan on the licence plate to indicate we are now receiving taxation with representation. As a state, we would have the same 2nd amendment rights and responsibilities as the other states. Some people will find it necessary to have their District of Columbia tattoos modified to reflect these changes to reflect our current statehood status after we make the transition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-51730622371172237512016-10-19T12:34:19.465-04:002016-10-19T12:34:19.465-04:00Neither for or against, but how would dc become a ...Neither for or against, but how would dc become a state if the Federal District is created by the Constitution ?
