- Democrats are trying to grant DC & Puerto Rico statehood because they would be guaranteed 2 Senators each & House representation. This is a leftist power grab to swing Congress. Oppose it every way you can. – Dagney Taggert
- The legislation would authorize a vote in Puerto Rico to choose to become a state, independent nation, or country “in free association with the United States.” The island a territory since 1898, and residents there were granted citizenship in 1917.
