As to Puerto Rico and statehood, remember that all Puerto Rico can do is "request" that statehood be granted. This request has to be approved by the House and Senate.

I appreciate all you've said and I want you to know that I am keenly aware of the hurdle you pointed out above.

I invite you to read the PR 51 FAQ File (in Spanish) to read how many supporters of statehood for Puerto Rico think about this and other subjects.

Just go here: http://nuevofederalista.blogspot.com and look up the link on the top left margin.

Hi Teófilo

Thanks for the link. I'll be reading that tonight.

What part of P.R are you from? I grew up in San Sebastian and Aguadilla. All of my wife's and my family still live on the island so we go back at least once a year. We usually go around Christmas time. There is nothing like Christmas in Puerto Rico.

Best Regards

Sergio
