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?
We all know what Statehood means, and there are 50 successful examples of that. We all know what independence means, and we all know what the present territorial status means.
The only way to address this situation whereby our constitutional rights are never the same if we live in a territory is to either move to one of the 50 states or become a state.
There is a moral commitment that I have to indeed make sure that we provide Constitutional policing to our constituents.
