Thread: House Voting on Statehood for Puerto Rico Next Week!

I received this in my inbox - looks like the Liberals are looking for more ways to win the election. Since Americans are all mad at them they are going to "import" a whole county that they can pander to with OUR tax dollars to give them the majority! We can't afford this - our county is already broke!

EMERGENCY ALERT! Emergency Alert! Take Action!

ProEnglish has learned House Democratic leaders plan to bring H.R. 2499, the Puerto Rico Democracy Act, to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote next week!
H.R. 2499 is "stealth legislation" designed to make Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico the 51st state.

That is the only reason why the bill requires Puerto Ricans to vote on the question of statehood again, after they rejected it in three previous nation-wide elections.

This time, however, H.R. 2499's voting process is rigged in favor of statehood!

ProEnglish opposes H.R. 2499 because it does not make Puerto Rico adopt English as the language of its government as a prerequisite for statehood. Therefore if Puerto Rico is admitted as a state it will destroy our nation's unity in English and transform the U.S. into an officially bilingual country like Canada, with Spanish as our second 'official' language.
Please send your Congressman an email message and urge them to VOTE NO on H.R. 2499.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW! http://capwiz.com/proenglish/issues/ale ... 1&queueid=[capwiz:queue_id]

The Puerto Ricans have repeatedly voted on whether to become a state and statehood has repeatedly lost there. The pro statehood forces just keep ignoring the results in hopes that it will eventually win.
