Deal with the status of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It was on your campaign.

Created by I.V. on December 28, 2012

Mr. President, you made a campaign promise to deal with the political status of Puerto Rico. Although the are arguments that the supermayority that the statehood option got is a "statistical illusion", that's irrelevant. We need your side of the debate to deal with this, either to tell the pro-statehood side what I have told you before (that the supermayority is an mathematical construction) or that indeed, the statehood option won. Congress needs to pay attention to this. I know that the nation is facing an economical nightmare, but Congress and the presidency will always find a crisis as an excuse to not deal with this. So please, work with us, to either ask for another plebiscite or to work with the one we already have.
