Contact our congress person? Is that because it’s worked so well in the last 14 months?

I’d extend that to every person with any ancestor who ever stayed overnight in Puerto Rico.

I just don’t know why the republicans can’t get it through their thick skulls. The democrats seek nothing less than the extinction of conservative political power forever.

What they do after that is an even greater concern.

WTH! I thought you were supposed to ‘never let them see you sweat’. The Dems are basically running up and down the streets screaming like their hair is on fire.

Again, carve out New York City/Longisland as a state giving us two new Republican Senators, AND carve out Chicago, giving us another couple of new Republican Senators, and maybe carve out San Fran/Sacramento/Hollyweird/Beverly Hills as a new state, and that gives us another two Republican Senators.

That's 6 new Republican Senators, and most of the worst lot of Democrats find themselves cooped up in states that cannot finance themselves.

I didn’t finish watching Beck today, but it’s recorded and I usually watch it with hubby later in the night. Thanks for the info. I guess we will find out what the Tenn and Alaska plan was in his show. That’s why I love Beck...he gets into this stuff and helps to warn and educate a wider audience. I don’t always agree with him..but his show is best when he is exposing the marxists and teaching history and the founding fathers. I love learning at his chalkboard!

Man, we need to do some heavy housecleaning this Nov!

That's because for decades now they had one of the sweetest leeching situations in the world that allows the to be such socialists.

They get all the protections of the US military, economic favoritism, passports that let them travel back and forth at will, sit around in massive enclaves around NYC collecting a never ending stream of greater welfare benefits than most other immigrants. Hell, they even demand a parade in their countries honor every frickin year down 5th Ave.

I'm sick of this sweetheart deal of "U.S. Territory forever". Either become a full state, start paying your share of taxes into the system, or go it alone and end up with the economy of Haiti or Cuba.

How does anyone in the Secret Service live with themselves knowing they are protecting a Marxist dictator who’s destroying their country?

Let's see: within the next couple of years, we're likely to see the US expand to 52 states in order to ensure communist control over the federal legislature... any bets on when America's Mussolini and his compliant media is going to launch the campaign to pack "expand" the Supreme Court?

Newton Gingrich was pushing for this in about 1996. I guess he thinkis he can win the 2012 Puerto Rican Republican presidential primary. They do have presidential primaries, but they always vote liberal, I believe. They believe in government to “take care” of “their needs”, and as the man in Richmond, VA, said in the 1992 presidential debates, “they are many”.

Secret Service people are trained too put POTUS above all, even God, I presume. Many of their fellow citizens do that anyway.
