Repeal or place temporary moratorium on The Jones Act by executive order or act of Congress and allow over 3 Million US citizens in Puerto Rico to have a fair and open trade market. The Jones Act is an outdated law that forces businesses shipping to PR to use a small number of, aging, US-flagged vessels for all shipping. This causes the cost of doing business to rise dramatically and negatively affects millions of US citizens by significantly raising our cost of living. The costs of this law to PR are ~$2B p/yr.
The US Virgin Islands are already exempt from these anti free market laws. Dozens of articles have been written by the likes of The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post that support the elimination of these archaic laws. ACT NOW PLEASE!
