#Traveling Around the U.S. – State of the Week:Washington D.C.

Home of the White House and host to 176 diplomatic missions,Washington, D.C., is more than “A Capital City,” it’s the heartbeat of theUnited States. However, D.C. is also a special addition to this campaign, as itis actually a federal territory and not a state. That means that it is actuallyfederally administered rather than locally like every other U.S. state. Whilein D.C. you may notice that the license plates, including the President’s read“Taxation Without Representation.” This is a subtle protest by the residents ofD.C., to paying taxes to the federal government, but not having a votingrepresentative in the U.S. Congress. The city is also the caretaker of anation’s history and guardian of its heroes and their dreams. Visitors whostroll its green parks and broad avenues not only learn the story of America —its shortcomings and its triumphs — but gain a sense of the spirit that moves anation to meet its challenges and live up to the aspirations of its founders.
