Luis Gutiérrez: “In the 8 that lost, YES to Statehood still got more votes than the candidate who was elected.”

Absolutely not. Let's remember something. This was not part of the campaign in November.

Do not be deceived by the fact that only because we speak Spanish and we enjoy the freedoms of this United States, that the majority will immediately choose to be one way or the other; democrat or republican.

To pretend to continue a fruitless and pointless discussion by including independence or free association in a self-determination process, is a mockery of the democratic vote of Puerto Ricans.

If we truly want to solve the issue of status for the island, we need to give Puerto Ricans the tools to design a true self-determination process.
