We, the US Citizens of Puerto Rico; hereby let it be known, have had extensive patience awaiting for the United States Congress to resolve the status of Puerto Rico!
The United States Congress, which imposes rules, out of our control, which make it impossible to get our act together.
We are natural born U.S. citizens and want an equal seat at the table in the federal government that writes and implements the laws that we live under.
A majority of voters in Puerto Rico have requested statehood, now Congress must respond by officially offering it and allowing voters on the island to ratify their choice in a binding vote.
