Puerto Rico has decided on three separate occasions, by a majority vote of its citizens, that it does not desire to become the 51st state of the United States of America. The last such vote was taken in 1998.
So why is Congress voting on a bill today that would supposedly 'grant Puerto Rico the ability to decide if they want statehood'? They already have that right, and they have exercised it three times. And they have overwhelmingly said no.
It is safe to say that if this Congress in particular introduces legislation that purports to give a U.S. territory a right it already has, something underhanded is afoot.
Let's look at the facts.

Not that this has anything to do with “party”
It is the Progressive machine, and it is going to get pretty damn ugly pretty fast.
Our Constitution needs an amendment for a “Vote of no confidence”
What is happening now could never happen if “We the people had any say” during the entire 4 YEARS of rule, instead of just ONE DAY every FOUR YEARS
Beck explained what was going on with this on his show yesterday. I called Dean Heller’s DC Office this morning and explained it to the clerk. He was going to pass it on to Heller. We’ll see how it goes.
So, could you explain it to US??? Thanks,
What it works out to be is a deception that would end up giving the Progressives another 4 million voters should they become our 51st state. That’s the reason the Progressives are pro amnesty, the illegal Mexicans (20 million voters) are more apt to vote Democrat than Republican.
Gotcha. Thanks!
