On the recordApril 29, 2010
I thank the gentleman. Mr. Chair and my colleagues, this amendment should pass unanimously. I don't care where you are on this issue. If you fundamentally believe that the people of Puerto Rico should be given a voice, then the voice that they should be able to allow, one of the boxes they should be allowed to check is ``none of the above.'' Last time, 50.3 percent of the residents there voted in favor of this. It is not right for us to deny them the opportunity to check the box that says, ``none of the above.'' This should pass unanimously. I urge all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote for this.
