SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) The U.S. Navy has denied Chelsea Clinton permission to campaign for her mother on a former bombing range on a small Puerto Rican island.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign wanted to use the land Wednesday as a setting to discuss the candidate's clean up plan for the region and call to give some areas to local residents.
But Navy spokeswoman Lt. Lara Bollinger said no one is allowed to campaign on federal property.
Chelsea Clinton is making her second campaign visit to Puerto Rico in the last three weeks. The U.S. territory has 55 delegates at stake in its June 1 Democratic primary.
The Navy closed the range in Vieques in April 2003 following years of protests after two errant bombs killed a security guard.

Why is PR allowed to vote at all ? They don’t want to become a state so they need to STFU and be grateful for the aid they do get.
2 bombs can kill one person. Waste of friendlies and ordnance when errant bombs drop anywhere !

Did Webb Hubbell’s spawn mention how her mother’s husband pardoned Puerto Rican terrorists in 2000?

I was on a Carib ... BLT 2/6 ('68-'69). One of many "memorable moments" was Christmas Eve Mass at the Garcia chapel. LOL ...
Nevertheless, I'd rather be at Garcia than the 6 months I was on this thing.

Is Al Sharpton still a local hero there?
You know, after he singlehandedly lost every working stiff’s job for them?

These people are outright crazy.
They demonstrated in the streets shouting "No Yankees" and "No USA" and then when they got exactly what they wanted they screamed about that, as well.
Like well, you know, you closed the base, and so of course you had already thought what would happen to those jobs?

I will fondly remember Camp Garcia and Isabel Segunda forever.
Was there in 55, Sub Unit 1, 8th Engr Bn. Bugs, beer, and barracuda. Liked Littlefields bar, and the Club Boca Chica, and the rum.

Silvie, yes I forgot you were Rican. In a different Navy life I traveled to R-Roads several times to do IG inspections for deployed Construction Battalions. We made a point each visit of going to Mama Rosa’s in Fajardo for the langosta and onion entree and the fried bread. You know the place or the food?

And the prize? The local economy lost $250 million per year when the Navy closed the associated base Roosevelt Roads, which without Vieques was useless.Yeah, the local were sh*tting their pants over Roosie Roads. That wasn't part of the deal they thought they were getting. Sucks to be them...
