The pseudo plebiscite - cheating on Puerto Rico http://www.redbetances.com/component/content/article/51-en-portada/1319-rafael-anglada-lopez-y-olga-i-sanabria-davila.html
The government of the United States of America in Puerto Rico, through annexation colonial government in San Juan, has imposed a plebiscite on 6 November.The formulation of the same, legislated by the legislative majority government presents a colonial annexation of Puerto Rico, favors the integration of Puerto Rico, to the U.S. as its 51 state. Despite its continuous approaches that respect the status option you choose mostly the Puerto Rican people, Washington has never respected the consultations "plebiscitary" above, since the first in 1967 where he was favored an array of more powers to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In addition, the Decolonization Committee of the United Nations since 1972 - the first year it ruled on the issue - has never validated any consultation "plebiscitary" prior.In contrast, the Decolonization Committee of the United Nations has repeatedly reiterated the inalienable right of the Puerto Rican people to self-determination and independence in accordance with Resolution 1514 (XV) of the General Assembly which requires "the transfer of power to the people the territory. "That is, the processes related to decisions of the people of Puerto Rico on the future status must be made in accordance with international law and relevant resolutions, in particular resolution 1514 (XV). This is not the case of the consultation to be held on November 6, legislated by the colonial government of Puerto Rico today, and which strangely held the same day as the general election in Puerto Rico. This course gives no real answer plebiscite to "debate that exists in Puerto Rico about finding a procedure to start the process of decolonization of Puerto Rico," appointment of Special Committee resolutions which notes that debate in Puerto Rico on the subject. Moreover, the Bar Association of Puerto Rico, a pluralistic and respected entity, the oldest civic organization Puerto Rico, has always demanded the establishment of a Constitutional Assembly Status deliberate on the future relationship of Puerto Rico to the United States results and then negotiate with Washington.The next pseudo-referendum has been imposed by the colonial government over annexation and most corrupt in the history of Puerto Rico, with a complete lack of consultation with the electoral majority and most of the political institutions and civil society in Puerto Rico on decolonization mechanism that must be implemented to solve the colonial status of Puerto Rico a  a project widely rejected by the country and the international community.Given the above, the plebiscite on 6 November, to be held in conjunction with the general election in Puerto Rico should be rejected. Of note is the approach of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean State (CELAC) in his speech at the recently concluded general debate of the UN Fourth Committee that the "question of Puerto Rico has been seen by more than 35 years in the Special Committee, as a result of which have been adopted 31 resolutions and decisions being adopted by consensus during the last 13 years. "
In the same debate, the voice of Chile, the President Pro Tempore, the CELAC also recalled that "These resolutions, inter alia, reaffirmed the inalienable right of the Puerto Rican people to self-determination and independence, in accordance with resolution 1514 (XV ) of the General Assembly. "CELAC concluded that," Similarly, [these rulings] reiterate that Puerto Rico is a Latin American and Caribbean nation that has its own unequivocal national identity, and request the General Assembly to reconsider comprehensively and in all aspects of the question of Puerto Rico. "Anglada and Sanabria are leaders of the National Hostos Independence Movement and the Committee of Puerto Rico to the United Nations (COPRONU).

Dear Partner,

Greetings!

Those who accept colonialism do not believe in justice for all! Now that we know that
the political parties will not solve this problem; I invite you to join the non-violent protest to demand that the United States (US) decolonize Puerto Rico (PR) immediately. It will be on Monday, June 17, 2013 from 8 AM to 5 PM outside the United Nations (UN) visitor’s entrance located on 46th Street and First Avenue in New York City.

The UN has determined that colonialism is a crime against humanity in 1960 under Resolution 1514 (XV). That’s why the UN celebrates every year a hearing about Puerto Rico decolonization. Every year the UN puts forth a resolution asking the US to decolonize PR. Despite 30 of these resolutions, PR is still the oldest and most populated colony in the world! It is obvious by now that the US is not going to decolonize PR just because the UN asks.

Through education, we must create a domestic and international solidarity with this cause to pressure the US to do what historically she has refused to do. This is why we need everyone who also believes that colonialism is a crime against humanity to join the protest to demand compliance to international law!

Puerto Rico has been a colony of the US for 114 years. The US’ intention is to keep PR a colony forever unless we do something about it. It is important to note that: democracy isn’t what a government does. Democracy is what people do!
President John F. Kennedy said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere.” These ideas, of course, are the reasons why the United Nations was created after World War II.

It is up to us to defend the fundamental human rights that promote world peace. The tragedy of doing nothing is that we will have the kind of government that we deserve!

Sincerely,

José M. López Sierra
