The United States Congress, which imposes rules, out of our control, which make it impossible to get our act together.
If you really believe in democracy, justice, government by the consent of the governed, you must not hesitate any further or give any more excuses.
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!
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.
