Obama To Use D.C. ‘Taxation’ Plates On His Limo

President Obama has agreed to place license plates on his presidential limousine that call attention to the District’s lack of voting rights in Congress, White House officials said Tuesday.

The plates will incorporate the “Taxation Without Representation” slogan that appears on standard-issue plates around the District, a reference to its 618,000 residents’ lack of representation in the House and Senate despite a population that outstrips two states.

Mr. Obama’s limousine will sport the plates during inauguration weekend and for the remainder of his term, officials said.
