Party On

The original Tea Party in Boston protested the concept of taxation without representation. The colonists objected to paying a tax on stamps (the Stamp Act) without having the colonies represented in Parliament.

I would be interested to know the percentage of current Tea Party supporters who support full voting rights for residents of the District of Columbia in the U.S. Congress, since these residents today are taxed without representation.

I'm just saying...
