PUERTO RICO’S CRISIS
I have been following Puerto Rico’s situation for a long time.
As many of you may know, I was born there.
I’ve been also following John Oliver, Lin-Manuel Miranda and the “War Against All Puerto Ricans” blog.
Today they all came together to explain and plead the case for Puerto Rico.
As I looked through Facebook this morning, I found this video … presented over and over …. and, of course, I shared over and over.
Why?
Because this is my country and not many know the real situation.
Many think that Puerto Rico is a dead-beat country who won’t pay the money it owes.
The situation is much more complicated.
To add insult to injury, there’s a group called CFIF paying for TV ads which state that what Puerto Rico wants is a “Super Chapter 9” Bankruptcy Legislation.
Please, take a short time of your busy schedule and be educated about the situation in Puerto Rico.
Remember, Puerto Ricans ARE American citizens.

John Oliver and Lin-Manuel Miranda break the media silence on Puerto Rico
“Throughout one of the greatest crises that Puerto Rico has ever faced, there has been a deafening silence from nearly every Puerto Rican “celebrity” on the planet.
This silence was broken last night by Lin-Manuel Miranda and John Oliver.”
