I couldn't find many cartoons on the topic.

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.

I'm an evil furriner, I wouldn't get to vote even if we did have representation! Woe is me, etc.

You're good at keeping out the worst drama, the cartoons you post are actually funny, and when you choose to engage yourself in the comments section, you pick on the appropriate people but don't abuse your privileges. In other news, I am totally going to try to be your campaign manager if you ever run for office.
