This July 4th, 2012, the United States of America has over 236 years in tradition of preserving democracy and freedom; yet Puerto Rico (a US Territory under Congressional rule) has yet to determine its final political status. Almost 4 million United States Citizens residing on the islands are disenfranchised of their full rights (no real Congressional representation, and no vote for US President). Over 400,000 have served honorably in the US Armed Forces (from WW-I to GWOT, including 5 Congressional Medals of Honor). It is time to end colonialism and give our fellow citizens their dully earned space in our Union. .
