Send an email to your Representative

We need your help today to convince the Congress that this is not the time to be considering inviting Puerto Rico to become our 51st state. We simply cannot afford it!

When was the last time you were asked if you wanted Puerto Rico to become a state?

Both the American people and the citizens of Puerto Rico deserve to know all the facts before any effort is made to allow yet another opportunity for Puerto Rico to become a state. People need to know how many Representatives the new state would have and whether their own state may lose representation as a result of Puerto Rican statehood.

Our Congressional Budget Office should be informing us how much statehood could cost American taxpayers over what it is already costing us to retain Puerto Rico as a Commonwealth.

I have just learned that H.R. 2499 the latest in a series of bills to call for Puerto Rican statehood is coming up for a vote before the entire House. Please click here to send an email to your Representative today urging him or her to vote against H.R. 2499.

 

Sincerely,

Frank McGlynn

Executive Director
