No to statehood (Published March 23, 2001) Do you want Puerto Rico to be our 51st state? The last time it was defeated by one single vote in Congress. We now have a different Congress and it could pass if you don't call or write your Congress representative. The Puerto Rican lobby even struck a secret deal with the Clinton administration to get $25 million to lobby Congress. The Washington insider liberals are demanding Puerto Rico's statehood because it will send six liberal congressmen and two liberal senators to Washington. If you think we have too many people on welfare, Puerto Rico has more than 10 times as many. These people have nothing to offer and they don't care about us. All they are interested in is U.S. tax dollars. I have been in Puerto Rico. I have seen many lazy young men slumming around, sitting on fences in the middle of the day, not wanting to work.
