Are we or are not we citizens, tax payer, cultural contributors, emergency supports, manpower in disasters, etc.? Nevertheless, we are treated as less than inmigrants and/or illegals (nothing personal or prejudice). The truth is we feel we are being punished, for what? We want to be part of that same nation that, supposedly, is "our government". A government "by the people, for the people". Today, MLK,Jr.'s day, in representation of nearly 100 friends, I tell you with respect, we need to be treated like what we are and have earned...EQUALS!!

Puerto Rico is not ready for independence. We are a common wealth and Politians in Puerto Rico is always taking advantage of the people. Is time to become a Part of US. Puerto Rico no esta preparado para la independencia. Somos un Estado Libre Asociado y los politicos en Puerto Rico estan aprovechandose de la gente de Puerto Rico. Ya es tiempo de ser parte de Estados Unidos realmente.

Puerto Rico necesita la atenciÃ³n que se merece en este asunto. No podremos resolver nuestros problemas sociales y econÃ³micos si no resolvemos nuestro problema de status primero. Necesitamos educar a los puertorriquenos de aquÃ y los que viven en los Estados Unidos lo que significa este gran paso, hay mucha desinformaciÃ³n que los enemigos de la Estadidad dicen para sabotear el proceso empezando por Luis Gutierrez y Nydia VelÃ¡zquez.

Even though some groups (minorities) try to make it seem to the rest of the World that Puerto Rico seeks liberty or that is seeks sovereignty, that is definitely not true. These groups don't eve make the top 20% of the total idea of what we (the majority) seek and want for our beautiful island. I urge Obama and all of Congress to let Puerto Rico decide whether we want statehood or not so you (and those minorities) can see what most of us want. Statehood is the only way Puerto Rico can prosper. Give us a chance to choose our own path and let us be part of the rest of the 50 states, us being the 51st.

We were founded as a nation of refuge, a place people could turn to in hopes of a better life. If this is something that the people of Puerto Rico want, we should be able to find a way to make it work.

Although you will here what may seem patriotic and noble reasons for not accepting statehood, the fact of the matter is that we can no longer continue to reject our inedible future. We as a people can no longer live on this middle ground. Our path to greatness does not lie in our failed independence but our growth and leadership as we become the shining example of an integral part of the greatest nation on earth. Living on middle ground keeps us divided and weakens our ability to move forward. Let our statehood be the start of demonstrating to the world what a combine effort of a people with a will and determination can do. The shining light that is the greatness of us as a people has been made dim and lust less with the indecision of our path. Let’s once again light the way with the blinding essence of a strong and proud people. We are and always will be PUERTORIACN. No person or act will ever take that away. EVER.

United States of America has an unfinished business with Puerto Rico. If the U.S. is the beacon of democracy, why is still Puerto Rico a non-incorporated territory, with zero equality with the rest of the states. It's time for change, and it's time for Puerto Rico to become the 51st State of the Union !

It is time for the people of Puerto Rico to enjoy the full benefit of an American citizen. Enough with the politicians benefiting on the name of the people and a grotesque colonialism in the 21 Century. Enough of MY tax being pocketing by corrupt wannabe politicians and pseudo activists. Puerto Rico: Stand up for what is real worthy. Americans, lets stop subsidizing the wealth of a few and let it be a "land of freedom" not only in name.

Llegó el tiempo de que Puerto Rico se defina. Grupos opositores a la estadidad siguen repitiendo el disco "rayao" que vengo escuchando desde mi niñez, que con la estadidad viene el pago adicional de impuestos o los "taxes". Ya ese asunto es muy viejo, hablemos con elementos y hechos que educquen a un pueblo y no lo embrutesca. Ya sabemos que los puertorriqueños pagan impuesto incluidos en los ar- tículos que consumen. Mientras tanto hay cosas más importantes que considerar y es el derecho a la igualdad, mejores oportunidades, dignidad de los trabajadores y profesionales y menos opresión por un gobierno corrupto. La estadidad es el camino hacia la igualdad y nosotros podemos luchar para lograrlo. Pero entendamos que esa lucha comienza por educar a los nuestros, enseñarles los mitos de la estadidad y los mitos del estados libre asociado. Solo educando podremos librar al pueblo de la ignorancia a que el gobierno la ha mantenido sometida. Envien sus comentarios también a info@holaaugusta.com para continuar uniendo puertorriqueños en Puerto Rico y el extranjero.

Statehood for Puerto Rico!!! The governor's letter is wrong because the New Progressive Party (PNP) was the only party that supported US annexation (through statehood) because the PDP (PPD) wanted and Associated Republic. What does this mean? That Puerto Ricans want to be part of the USA and the only way is through statehood!!!

It's time for us to be treated equally. I'm tired of Puerto Ricans having to fight for the concept of democracy in American wars when we can't even choose our President or have appropriate representation in the National Government. Equality, Progress, Statehood NOW!!!!!!!!

THE CITIZENS OF PUERTO RICO WANT STATEHOOD! AND THEY SHOULD GET IT.. THEY DESERVE IT.. "This current colonial status does not allow Puerto Ricans to vote for the President of the United States. Puerto Ricans do not have representation in the U.S. Senate and no voting representation in Congress. Instead, the 4 million U.S. Citizens of Puerto Rico only have one “Resident Commissioner” who cannot even vote on the House floor. Therefore, Puerto Ricans have no say in the making of the laws and statutes that apply to them. Even though the U.S. Supreme Court has absolute jurisdiction over Puerto Rico, Puerto Ricans do not have representation in the U.S. Senate to cast an up or down vote on Supreme Court nominees. In the end, Puerto Rico is governed by a Congress in which they are not allowed to participate in, an Executive whom they did not elect, and a Judiciary whose justices they did not confirm." - http://prssa51.wordpress.com/why-statehood/ "The 4 million U.S. Citizens of Puerto Rico are not allowed to fully participate in the democratic process of their nation. Consequently, they are the victims of political discrimination. The people of Puerto Rico are treated as disenfranchised and second-class U.S. citizens." - http://prssa51.wordpress.com/why-statehood/ "The United States of America is supposed to be a free and democratic republic, not an empire." - http://prssa51.wordpress.com/why-statehood/
