Gutiérrez should get his government to do the right thing with Puerto Rico

Congressman Luis Gutiérrez is asking in this letter that a television network do the right thing. He is advocating that presidential candidate Donald Trump should not be allowed to be on Saturday Night Live for making derogatory statements about Latinos. But, why hasn’t the government that he represents done the right thing with Puerto Rico? Click on the following link to read his letter:

The United States (US) government has been a criminal for 55 years for violating the 1960 international law that prohibits having colonies. His government has ignored 34 United Nations resolutions asking it to unconditionally and immediately decolonize Puerto Rico. His government has maintained incarcerated Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera for also 34 years for doing what he has a right to do under international law – fighting to decolonize his country.

If Representative Gutiérrez really wants to defend Latinos from US racism, he should try to get his government to decolonize Puerto Rico. We don’t need a plebiscite to do that, because the decision has already been made that Puerto Rico has to be decolonized, or said differently, set free. Whatever plebiscite that may be needed, would be after Puerto Rico is free to make decisions freely.

Luis should understand that his government will not voluntarily decolonize Puerto Rico. Therefore, he should be advocating that we peacefully and continuously protest for our decolonization. We must do it this way, because those who violate the law to keep their colonies don’t believe in JUSTICE FOR ALL!
