As Jefferson once wrote in the Declaration of Independence, it is the right of the people to change or abolish a government once it becomes destructive in the ends of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
We, the people of Puerto Rico, have a government which has become destructive of those ends, and as such, it is our dearest right to alter it, or to abolish it. However, even though we've done what we can to do so, the final decision rests at Washington D.C.
We are American Citizens, but our country's status as a colony has given us a number of political, social and economical impediments that limits our growth and prosperity as a society. In the last years, this has destroyed our lives, our freedom, and our happiness. We need help from the White House immediately. It is evident.
