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…

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

The United States Congress, which imposes rules, out of our control, which make it impossible to get our act together.
