The reall problems with Statehood. Read why!

[miguelito]

I BELIEVE THAT A LARGE PART OF THE PEOPLE IN PUERTO RICO ARE TOOO PASSIVE WHEN IT COMES TO THE POLITICS, THE PRESENT AND THEIR FUTURE. THERE IS A LOT OF CORRUPTION WITHIN THE ELECTED OFFICIALS. THIS IS MORE PREVELANT GOING SOUTH,LAJAS, MAYAGUEZ. THE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE TRUTH ,DUE TO THEIR ONLY ACCESS IS RIGHT THERE. THEY DON'T GET TO SEE OUTSIDE OF THEIR IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY.ITS LIKE BEING CONFINED. STATEHOOD WILL CREATE A BIG PROBLEM ECONOMICALLY. PEOPLE WILL END UP LOSING THEIR LAND, PROPERTY. PUERTO RICO IS RICH IN ITSELF, BUT U MUST ALSO BE SELECTIVE WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND DEMAND FROM THEM WHAT U EXPECT FROM THEM.

Hey, come on. I love to drive, is my job.
About being a Christian. Yes, I am.
And you are right; the PNP is not going to
Win the election. I live in PR and the everyone and the TV is saying the PPD is going to WIN big they even saying that the
PIP should even pick ground in this coming
Election. Every where I go in PR I see more
and more people removing their PNP flag from
there home and replacing them with PPD flags
and PIP flags. In Puerto Rico I know people
the once believe in the PNP like me are now
Turning to the PPD or to PIP. So you see,
your PNP has done to many things in PR to
even think of winning. Your PNP has stole
so much money the people are really angry
here in PR. Now, you ask me if we became a State? Would you accept it peacefully? Or would you shed the blood of innocent people?
No, I would accept it peacefully but I can't
talk for the rest of the PIP and etc.
Maybe they would take up arms I don't know
and I hope they don't but only time would tell. So stop wasting your time in a bad party and fight for your true country Puerto Rico.

Section 936 phased out is another
Way to force us to take Statehood.

Thousands of workers if not millions of workers would lose their jobs When Section 936 is phased out. By the year 2005 section 936 will Be complety phased out. Many jobs have already been lost during The previous several years due to the phase out. More worrisome Has been the inability to attract comparably paying jobs to Puerto Rico to substitute for those that have been lost.
Why? How could this happen to Puerto Rico? Very simple. They want to force Puerto Rico to become part of the United State by the forces of the PNP and they don’t care
If millions lose there jobs in Puerto Rico. Without Section 936 American co and other companies would have to pay federal taxes
Even thought PR is not a state. This is almost the same thing The happen when England force taxes to the American colonies.
How can these companies pay federal taxes when the laws say Very clear, No taxes without representation. This companies paying
Taxes are okay if Puerto Rico was a state but is not. But tanks God the we have Latin congressman fighting to come With something new. One of them is Luis V. Gutierrez.
He is a member of congress. His phone is 202-225-8203. Him and other are working on H.R. 2138. What is H.R. 2138? This is to amend the Internal Revenue Code to extent the credit for Businesses operating in Prico
And also help other possessions of the US. This bill would Allow for existing and new companies operating in PR to Benefit from a credit against their federal corporate tax liability. The goal of this important legislation is to attract investment and
Job creation by more companies. Another reason to say No to Statehood. No one should force our people to become A state by removing jobs from PR!

One thing the I can't understand is how could
those who believe in statehood go on doing
so when you have enemies in Washington.
Time and time again they have stop the
moment to making Puerto Rico a state.
Don't you get it? They don't want us.
Also, they have not even help the PPD get
to the point they want. So you see, freedom
for Puerto Rico is the only option and is
the option the Washington will faunally give
to Puerto Rico.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH YOU, THE UNITED STATES WANTS EVERYTHING;PUERTO RICO WOULD BE AN ASSET TO THEM. AS IT IS THEY HAVE AN INFLUENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT IN P.R. HOW DO YOU THINK THE MILITARY GOT BOMB IN VIEQUES,AND REMAIN. THE GOVERNMENT SOLD OUT, BOTH THE ISLAND AND THE PEOPLE. THEY ARE POCKETING ALL THIS MONEY,POLITICAL FAVORS. DONT KID YOURSELF, IF THE PEOPLE IN PUERTO RICO DO NOT WAKE UP,IT WILL BECOME A STATE. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so sorry for thegenie because he is
the one who is going to be crying. Is going
to be the other way around. Puerto Rican
History has always repeated its self. When
ever the poles said that the PNP was going
to win the opposite would happen. I have
Live in PR to know so. Believe me, PR would
never become a state. They could win election
after election and the US government would
say no and no again. Long live our free
Democratic Republic of Puerto Rico!!!!
