Friend, thank you for your support-- It's easy to get carried away with the highs and lows of the daily news cycle, so we thank you for sticking with us through it all. Puerto Rico has been in an economic recession since 2006 and has arguably never recovered-- on top of the debt issues that brought us PROMESA, the island has faced unprecedented national disasters that were met with inefficient response from the federal government. Come January, however, there is hope for change. The U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico have voted to become a state, and national politicians on both sides of the aisle, from Marco Rubio to Barack Obama, have highlighted the need for Congress to take action. While this is historic for the Puerto Rico statehood movement, we can and must take it a step further. Can you sign our petition and demand that Puerto Rico be admitted as a state? |

The time to admit Puerto Rico is now, let's not waste this opportunity. Sincerely, George Laws Garcia Executive Director, PRSC |
