To turn around and tell voters to go back to the drawing board and re-define multiple other options which the majority has rejected three times in the last eight years in favor of statehood, would not only be insulting to us, but…

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.

Pass the Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Act as soon as possible and together we can help make America a more perfect Union.

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