Guess what? You have representation. You voted. You lost.

Now get out there and do something for the GOOD of the country. Or keep whining. Your choice.

That is all.
so wait just one doggone minute on this. Voting has nothing to do with representation. Apparently. Us immigrants, we have to pay taxes. But we are not allowed to vote. apparently, though, it's not "taxation without representation" because we have representation -elected officials are still supposed to listen to us and work n our behalf.... we just have no say in choosing who they are. I'm sure they still care about us, though.....
