This 100 year old Jones Act needs to be repealed. It is the number one issue that has caused the Puerto Rican debt. It will be the number one obstacle to the recovery of Puerto Rico.
Now is the time to act to tell Congress and our President they need to stand with the Puerto Rican people and the only way to do so is to demolish the Jones Act.
Why is this important?
With hurricane Maria's devastation of Puerto Rico, the Jones Act does hurt recovery and the rebuild effort. Written 100 years ago, it does not apply to todays circumstances. The infrastructure of the Electric grid and the Puerto Rican debt is caused by this act. Its time to behave like its 2017 and not 1917. Make the change now and do what is right by the elimination of the Jones Act and our U.S. Territory for our Puerto Rican Families.
