STATEHOOD
It is time for the United States to protect the will of the people as secured by International law and the Constitution and laws of the United States. And the President should request U.S. Congress to enact legislation to secure and protect the democratic desicion made by our fellow citizens from that U.S. Territory.
It is time for the U.S. to STOP trying to build democracies in the World and fix our own.
