TO ADMIT PUERTO RICO AS A STATE OF THE UNION
- Posted by Andrés Carrasquillo Merced
To: The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, the United States Congress and Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner, Pedro Pierluisi
The People of Puerto Rico approved on November 6, 2012 by absolute mayority of votes that it shall not continue with the present territorial-colonial status and by a supermayority of votes that statehood should be the chosen political status to achieve its own and full sovereingty as a state of...
…3,799 people signed the petition
We urge you to support this Concurrent Resolution 67 as soon as possible because our next Legislative Assembly presided by Eduardo Bhatia in the Senate and Jaime Perelló in the House of Representatives, and also the new Governor of Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla are committed to the derogation of this important legislation, that comprises the first landmarking event in the island history that its people has chosen the termination of our territorial-colonial status and statehood as the political status alternative to seal and secure a permanent relation and definitive integration to the United States of America as a state of the Union. Fellow American Citizens: We urge you to make possible that President Obama and Congress, with their support of the supreme, legitimate and sovereign will of the People of Puerto Rico, to rush legislation to petition the admission of this 4 million American Citizens non-incorporated territory as a state of our great Nation.

Update #12
Posted by Andrés Carrasquillo Merced (Campaign Leader) on Jun 7Apparently does not exist any political and patriotic will to solve our centenary problem of democratic status and powers deficit. The political leaders of Puerto Rico are unable to reconcile their respective agendas of public appearances to finally start this process as expected. While small interests, illicit, immoral, unconscionable and unworthy enrichment with the money of the people of our archipelago and tribal divisions that characterize us continue to permeate our thinking and...

Update #11
Posted by Andrés Carrasquillo Merced (Campaign Leader) on Jun 7Al parecer no existe voluntad política y patriótica alguna para resolver nuestro centenario problema de estatus y déficit democrático de poderes. Los líderes políticos de este país no logran conciliar sus respectivas agendas de comparecencias públicas para que por fin se inicie tan esperado proceso. Mientras los intereses pequeños, el enriquecimiento ilícito, inmoral, desmedido e indigno con los dineros del pueblo de Puerto Rico y las divisiones tribales que nos caracterizan continúen...

Update #5
Posted by Andrés Carrasquillo Merced (Campaign Leader) on Feb 13Dear friends and cause supporters:
We expected a mention or announcement by President Obama about our Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Petition. But, his silence about this important issue for our Nation was eloquent. Apparently, all other issues, no matter how important or trivial are for United States policy were vastly more important than the legitimate aspiration of about 4 million citizens on the island and about 8 millions others in the mainland. What a shame for our democracy!
We urge...

Update #4
Posted by Andrés Carrasquillo Merced (Campaign Leader) on Jan 15This brilliant exposition on this prestigious blog of the U.S. Congress, vital reference for establishing the public policy of the nation, can not be more eloquent in urging the sovereign body that governs us instead of the people of Puerto Rico to honor and work the decision issued on our status on November 6, 2012. We expect nothing less... The voice of democracy must be respected, act now!

Update #3
Posted by Andrés Carrasquillo Merced (Campaign Leader) on Jan 9Thanks to all for your decided support to our petition of Statehood for Puerto Rico. Many of you should know that the only things we need to complete our process of admission into the Union are the presidential and vice-presidential vote and the faculty to elect 2 senators and 7 representatives. At this, we can elect all our state government officials, including the Governor, Senators, Representatives, Mayors and County (Municipal) Legislators. We have a constitution approved in 1952 that...

Please help me and all Democracy advocates to push forward this petition submitting it or write to your senators and representatives in Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. and your elected officials in your state, county or city so that the true and supreme will of the People of Puerto Rico is listened and considered by the United States Congress and the President of the United States as a genuine demand of our 4 million American Citizens born in our territory. Thanks for your kind support! -
