more attempts to pad the left

[justashooter 430]

Just finished watching Glenn Beck and discovered that our illustrious Congress is planning a vote on this for this thursday.

H.R. 2499 has been in the works for a while now. And I can't say that letting the Puerto Ricans have a say in this is a bad thing. But boy, isn't the timing of this just a little co-incidental?

The left just sees two more senate seats.

Does the illiterate jerk still contend that we have 57 States?

It is clear that Obama and democracy do not mix.

10/8/2009--Reported to House amended. Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2009 - Authorizes the government of Puerto Rico: (1) to conduct a plebiscite giving voters the option to vote to continue Puerto Rico's present political status or to have a different political status; (2) if a majority of ballots favor continuing the present status, to conduct additional such plebiscites every eight years; and (3) if a majority of ballots favor having a different status, to conduct a plebiscite on the options of becoming fully independent from the United States, forming with the United States a political association between sovereign nations that will not be subject to the Territorial Clause of the Constitution, or being admitted as a state of the Union. Prescribes the eligibility requirements for voting in the plebiscite. Requires the Puerto Rico State Elections Commission to: (1) certify plebiscite results to the President and Congress; and (2) ensure that all ballots used for the plebiscite include the full content of the ballot printed in English. Requires the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to pay all costs associated with such plebiscite (including the costs of printing, distribution, transportation, collection, and counting of all ballots).

Yep! I saw it too. Quite scary really.

Yay ! PR can vote and decide their own status, maybe, if this bill passes.

Good For Them !

Why is it "wrong" to allow Puerto Rico to have a public referendum on it's own future? How is that undemocratic?
