Luis Fortuno: “H.R. 2499 would enable the preferences of Puerto Ricans, among the real status alternatives, to finally be ascertained.”

I believe that the rules in the country should apply in the same way for creditors and debtors across the country.

How can anybody that says that they believe in democracy and that they want the U.S. citizenship, not want to participate in the democratic process of the nation they are citizens with?

The most logical and democratic way for Congress to know where we stand as Americans is to allow us an up-or-down vote to confirm or overturn the 2012 results.

We cannot know the partisan makeup of a congressional delegation for the state of Puerto Rico until the U.S. citizens there are afforded full voting rights.
