Luis Gutiérrez: “Put simply, it's a dangerous approach to a complicated problem and it will harm communities all around the country.”

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!

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.

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

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.
