Grant Associated Self-Determination to Puerto Rico
The Issue
As a proud Puerto Rican, I have witnessed the struggles of my homeland under colonial status since the 1500s. The illegal conquest began then and has continued unabated. In 1898, our nation transitioned from being under Imperial Spain to a military occupation by America. The Jones Act and more than a century of bloody history followed, including massacres and bombings like those in Ponce & Utuado.
Today, Wall Street’s irregularity abuse (UBS, Goldman-Sachs, Merrill Lynch, ect.) & U.S. implemented tax and regulation loopholes are economically strangling our island. This is not just about economics; it's about justice, dignity, and self-determination for the people of Puerto Rico who have been denied these basic rights for too long.
Puerto Rico has endured over five centuries of colonial rule - first by Spain and now by the United States. It is time for this to end. We demand that the United States government recognize our right to associated self-determination.
We want control over our destiny; we want an end to economic policies that benefit Wall Street at our expense; we want an end to colonial rule. It is time for Puerto Ricans to decide their own fate without interference from outside powers.
we are demanding the removal of the U.S. appointed “Financial Oversight Board” & demanding a reconstruction of our EcoPolitical status. A Free associated State, we will continue to use U.S. currency and allow for open dealings between the 2 Nations, along with U.S. military access but we will control our economy, infrastructure, Borders, and taxes. The “Financial Oversight Board” or “La Junta” has done irreversible damage to our land, and is looking to sell Puerto Rico to the highest Bidder, this cannot happen, it will not happen.
And if not, we require full representation in Congress and status of Statehood. President Joe Biden’s fascist decision to remove our representation from congress, which was a non-voting member, is unconstitutional. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
FREE PUERTO RICO
FREE BORINKEN
SIEMPRE PALANTE
QUE VIVA UN PUERTO RICO LIBRE
