Larry: My husband and I and almost all of the family are in favor of statehood but I don't think that is going to happen in the near future.
The main reason for that is that we have 3 political parties here and each represent one different formula... One political party in favor of Statehood, the other for the Commonwealth and the other Independence. Independence only gets 3% of the votes so the people don't want that mainly because we have a lot of cubans here and we know their story and are really afraid something like that could happen here. The 97% is divided each election between the other two and only win for 1 or 2% of the votes which means nobody gets a real mandate for anything. All the efforts made so far to make us vote for one formula include the Commonwealth. Regards, AiR Aida I. Rivera-Benítez, MSMIS AiR Information Systems, Inc.
