Today approx 2000 US citizens of #PuertoRico took to the streets to demand statehood for the Island. The majority of the ppl have voted twice for it & now -per @gallup- 2/3 of mainland Americans support it. @realDonaldTrump & Congress act now to respect the will of #WeThePeople.

La marcha de hoy a favor de la #Estadidad para #PuertoRico, organizada por activistas espontáneamente, que logró atraer hasta 2000 ciudadanos es lo que se llama una verdadera #asambleadepueblo; una expresión auténtica del sentir de la mayoría: #SomosEstadistas @REstadista

.@ricardorossello puso a #PuertoRico 1ero al renunciar. Pero el sabe que por el bienestar de la isla todavía debe tomar otra decisión con desprendimiento: nombrar un nuevo y buen Sec de Estado que traiga estabilidad a PR. La nación/el mundo nos está viendo!https://t.co/4UqPjkTaeq

[Alfonso Aguilar @amigoaguilar]

Por si acaso, la renuncia del gobernador no fue una victoria del nacionalismo o de ninguna otra agenda radical de izquierda. Los grupos radicales siguen siendo una ínfima minoría en la isla. Esta es una victoria de todo el pueblo de #PuertoRico que exigió que se le respete.

Bipartisan Puerto Rico Statehood Bill Introduced! Join the cause of full civil rights for the US Citizens of #PuertoRico https://t.co/p5nDntmDmi via @Change

Kudos to @orlandosentinel ed board for endorsing statehood for #puertorico. Thank you for using ur influential platform to shed light on lack of full civil rights of island’s US Citizens. It’s a historic statement from a media outlet that knows PR well. https://t.co/NXWEG8lGw1

To All candidates: New poll shows over 80% of #Florida Puerto Ricans support statehood for #PuertoRico & will consider issue when deciding who to vote for. U want their vote? Don’t talk about “self-determination”; openly embrace statehood. @MarcACaputo https://t.co/O7oMtk7rZP

[Alfonso Aguilar @amigoaguilar]

Thanks @RepDarrenSoto for ur leadership in support of #puertorico statehood. It’s only way US citizens of island can attain full civil rights. “Self-determination” pushed by fringe groups is euphemism for independence, which vast majority of PRicans reject.https://t.co/hmpVgZFNXR

Meeting with a good friend of #puertorico Congressman @congbillposey to discuss the quest for equality & full civil rights for the US citizens of the island, which can only be achieved thru statehood. @PRSC51

[Equality Commission @PRSC51]

@BetoORourke is right! The only way to permanently resolve the problem of a permanent second class status for the citizens of #PuertoRico is to make #PuertoRico the #51st state of the Union. Sign the petition today and join us in the fight! 👉https://t.co/Zatx80GbK1

[Alfonso Aguilar @amigoaguilar]

This is a pretty scandalous & incoherent statement! The person that denounced on natl TV the unequal treatment of the “US citizens” of #PuertoRico after Hurricane María seeks to undermine and deny the struggle for full equality of the ppl of the Island. https://t.co/1eg6wzbzTa

[Alfonso Aguilar @amigoaguilar]

I’m a conservative & no fan of @BetoORourke but I have to give him credit for recognizing that the the only way “to permanently resolve the problem of a permanent 2nd class status for the citizens of #PuertoRico is to ensure they r a state.” Gracias Beto! https://t.co/hJaosOFIUF

Amigo estadista, ejerce tu deber cívico y hazte escuchar! Firma la petición y dile a @RepRaulGrijalva que trabaje ahora para adelantar la admisión de #puertorico como estado. Compártela con tus amigos y familiares. Que todo estadista la firme! https://t.co/h0QcWLIBkl @PRSC51

[Alfonso Aguilar @amigoaguilar]

@CraigSBPA @AOC .@CraigSBPA Reagan understood that statehood is only way for US citizens of #Puertorico to attain full rights & that’s why he came out forcefully for statehood when announcing presidential run. Ironically, despite all her talk of “equality,” @AOC has yet to say if she’s for it!

[Alfonso Aguilar @amigoaguilar]

La estadidad para nuestro querido #PuertoRico no nos la va a dar el Congreso por mera iniciativa de algún congresita(s). Nos la darán si nosotros ejercemos presión en Washington. Firma la petición a favor de la estadidad! Tu voz cuenta! https://t.co/7PtTU8r6ti
