I hate to sound colonial-minded but...
...Is it possible for us to foist a decision upon Puerto Rico?
The island WILL hold a binding referendum. The three choices are:
1. Independence
2. Territorial Status
3. Statehood
Voters will be encouraged to choose very carefully as this vote is irreversible.
However, if voters choose Territorial Status, they will be allowed to vote again in 10 years as to whether they want one of the three above options.
For the sake of this island and its people, we (and they) need to make a concrete choice about their future instead of these non-binding referendums that have been held in the past.
Comments or opinions - anyone?
I seem to recall that Rosello (nice Catalan name there, from Roussolin), 1. supported mainland Democrats 2. looked like a young Leslie Nielsen and 3. was a crook.
