I want to know the answer to the following question:
What does the phrase protest?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Washington, D.C. residents who support the statehood movement sometimes use a shortened version of the Revolutionary War protest motto "No taxation without representation", omitting the initial "No", denoting their lack of Congressional representation; the phrase is now printed on newly issued Washington, D.C. license plates (although a driver may choose to have the Washington, D.C. website address instead).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
