ACTION ALERT: Oppose H.R. 2499, Statehood for Puerto Rico
No Puerto Rican Statehood without Official English
Take Action!
VOTE NO on H.R. 2499
Dear Official English supporter;
We need your help!
H.R. 2499, The Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2009 is out of committee and could be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote any day!
H.R. 2499 is "stealth" legislation designed to lead to the admission of Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico as our 51st state.
That is why the bill requires Puerto Ricans to vote on the issue of their political status again after they have rejected statehood in three nation-wide elections since 1991.
But this time the plebiscite process is rigged in favor of statehood!
ProEnglish opposes H.R. 2499 because it does not require Puerto Rico to adopt English as the language of its government as a pre-condition for statehood. Therefore if Puerto Rico were to be admitted as a state it would destroy our nation's unity in English and force the U.S. to become an officially bilingual country like Canada.
Please send your Congressman an email message and urge them to VOTE NO on H.R. 2499. (at the link below)

PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW!

Most Puerto Ricans already speak English and many are bi-lingual. Also, I don't even think they want to become a state. They voted against it within the last two years.
I wonder why the pressure is on them to become a state.

The Govt can't take care of the other 50 states.
It's interesting as many of the states in the Union may be heading toward leaving the Union and the gov't is trying to make Puerto Rico a state.
The US needs to leave Puerto Rico alone, they don't want to be US citizens.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

If the general population of PR has voted it down three times already, this is really beginning to sound like "who cares what voters say, we know better!"

Hmmm, I can't Imagine what Schumer, Gillibrand and Naydia think about this proposal.
