End Un-Equal US Citizenship; Puerto Rico's Un-democratic Status
We ask our US President and US Congress to defend the essence of our democracy-“consent of the governed”; respect the democratic Vote and Will of the US Citizens (including American Veterans) residing in the federally un-democratic US Territory of Puerto Rico-- which all had an opportunity and duty to vote in a an internal Status Plebiscite (6 Nov. 2012); and which results are: 61.15% for Statehood; 54% to change the trite Territorial Status; about 5% for Independence...
Now, after 115 years of federal political oppression, it is the duty of the President and Congress to protect all individual civil rights; and advance our representative democracy by starting the transition to admit the US Territory of Puerto Rico as the 51st State of the Union; ensure an equal US Citizenship under our gran USA Flag.

Why is this important?
Thsi Petition is about ensuring individual civil rights for all under our American Flag; advance our representative democracy; protect civil rights. The 2d Class US Citizens (American Veterans) residing in the US Terriotory of Puerto Rico can't vote for their President, in Federal elections; don't have just representation in Congress nor a perment US Citizenship if born in Puerto Rico. After 115 years, Congress hasn't done anyting to change this un-democratic status; ensure equal US Citizenship!
