Congress is still refusing to free the slaves!

 


Why Isn't Puerto Rico a State?


Today almost 160 years late our Congress is still refusing to free their slaves!

 

The Fear of the possibility of losing an election is found no place in the Constitution of the United States of America or her slave territories!

 

 

Puerto Rico should not be just an extremely wealthy Americans playground!

This is a lot of interesting reading but – Bottom Line?

 


Puerto Ricans need to get behind one agreement and get out and vote, bury the ‘Congress of the United States’ with petition for freedom!

History of Puerto Rico: 1950 - 2021 (topuertorico.org)

 

The Emancipation Proclamation, or Proclamation 95, was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, during the Civil War.

The Proclamation read:

That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.

 

As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico is neither a state nor an independent country—and politics over its status remain complicated.

Puerto Rico voted for statehood in 2012 and in 2017. The 2017 vote was 97% in favor of statehood. So why is Puerto Rico not a state now?
