Luis Gutiérrez: “Shame on us for not resolving this problem and leaving a legacy of abuse against those 5 million.”

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.

It is Imperative that Congress eliminate the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico.

Congress must grant us the equal rights and equal responsibilities that we have earned with the blood of our veterans and the tears of their mothers, wives, children and families.

So, don't let anyone tell you that statehood will somehow diminish our cultural pride and heritage.
