Just like all Americans, residents of DC
- Pay federal and local taxes
- Serve in the armed forces and make sacrifices in times of war
- Serve on juries to uphold federal laws and policies

Yet, DC residents are denied voting representation in the US Senate andthe US House of Representatives, and do not have complete autonomy overtheir own budget and local laws. Congress has the final say on DC's budget and laws.

In other words, residents of the District of Columbia have all the responsibilities of residents of states, but still cannot be represented in Congress. It is time to end taxation without representation.

The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

Rhode Island actually refers to the Aquidneck Island, and their associated islands.
Providence Plantations refers to the mainland where Roger Williams settled.

Longest State Name for the win!
