He was the first American to bring hostages out of Kuwait and Iraq in 1990. In 1990, in an impressive victory, Reverend Jackson was elected to the post of U.S. Senator from Washington, D.C., a position also known as "Statehood Senator." The office was created to advocate for statehood for the District of Columbia, which has a population higher than five states yet has no voting representation in Congress. ------- http://www.blackhistory.eb.com/micro/298/37.html In 1989 Jackson took residency in Washington, D.C., and in 1990, when the Washington City Council created two unpaid offices of "statehood senator"--popularly called "shadow senator"--to lobby the U.S. Congress for statehood for the District of Columbia, Jackson won election to one of the posts, his first elective office. ------- Samantha <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
