Chelsea Clinton Denied Access in Vieques, Puerto Rico

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.

What the heck, then, has she done as Senator for NY? What’s she done these past 8 years?

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are still both heroes there.

I don't recall any bars or clubs other than an EM or NCO club at Garcia. I do remember sitting in a bar located on Isabel Segeunda's main square and IIRC there was a water fountain in the town center.
Semper Fi ...

Hard to believe they are still heroes after wrecking the local economy singlehandedly.

Sounds like a lick of common sense is a rarity there.

The bars were in town, being permenant personnel, we had cinderella liberty every other day. After comming back to Camp, we would grab horses that we had hidden, and go back to town. When I first got there, we lived in tents, and the slopchute was in the foundation of an old refinery. Just before I returned stateside, we built the wooden barracks. Semper Fi
