Tea Packet Raises Awareness About Taxation without Representation

While we are on the topic of Tea and Politics, we thought we would share this.

After the success of our last article detailing the Republican Tea Party, we were sent this teabag packet by a reader involved in the End Taxation without Representation Campaign being spearheaded by a coalition named DC Vote (www.dcvote.org).

According to the reader who contacted us, there is a real population of people in the United States that pay taxes but have no representation in Congress. 

According to DC Vote’s website,

“Currently, more than half a million Americans living in our nation's capital have no congressional voting rights. They have no vote for jobs, no vote for health care, no vote for education or any issue debated and voted on by the U.S. Congress.”

DC Vote, an educational and advocacy organization dedicated to securing full voting representation in Congress for the residents of the District of Columbia, uses the “End Taxation without Representation” slogan on tea bag packets they use as advertisement tools for their campaign.

A big Thank-you to the reader who sent us the teabag and informed us of the campaign!
