No estoy de acuerdo con el propuesto cambio a la Constitución para limitar el derecho a fianza. En vez de eso, lo que deben hacer es legislar para que los delitos tengan una pena fija.
Que ningún juez pueda rebajar una fianza ya establecida. Que se eliminen las probatorias, que eliminen las bonificaciones a los presos, y por último, que se les quite a los presos el derecho al voto.

Como estudiante de décimo grado, me preocupa mucho la limpieza de nuestras playas. El pasado 23 de junio celebramos la tradicional Noche de San Juan. Que desilusión tan grande ver al otro día nuestras playas destrozadas.
Nunca en mi vida había visto algo así. Pero, no quiero ser una más que critica la problemática, prefiero mejor ser parte de la solución. Sugiero que se desarrolle una campaña, un buen nombre sería “Jóvenes al rescate de nuestras Playas”. Donde escuelas y colegios se unan en un esfuerzo y adopten una playa por un mes.
Así ellos se darían a la tarea de ir los fines de semana y entregar bolsas de basura a los visitantes para que recojan sus desperdicios y no los dejen tirados en la arena e interactuar con los bañistas y tratar de concienciarlos de que así como ellos se toman su tiempo preparando la neverita, ‘munchies’ etc., por qué no hacer lo mismo a la hora de la salida.

CARNE POR HUESO
El nuevo contrato de Alianzas Público Privada que este gobierno está negociando con una compañía mexicana en realidad es un regalo. Podemos comparar el dicho que le entregamos la carne y nos quedamos con el hueso.
Le estamos entregando un aeropuerto que genera ganancias de sobre $80 millones anualmente y nos quedamos con el hueso de los aeropuertos regionales que solo dejan pérdidas. Ese contrato se debe analizar e incluir todos los aeropuertos en la isla y así se sabe si en verdad los licitadores son buenos administradores y hacen cambios para que los demás aeropuertos sean remodelados y tengan más flujo de vuelos.
Le pido al gobernador Luis Fortuño que tome nota y haga lo que se hizo en la República Dominicana que se le dieron todos los aeropuertos al privatizador y no solo el de la capital, que es el que deja ganancias.

ES FALSO que el aumento de precios se debe a la alimentaria.
Si Puerto Rico cultivara sus alimentos no necesitaría de adquirirlos en el mercado internacional a precios inflados. Hoy los minoristas y mayoristas son los que ganan y los agricultores apenas sobreviven.
Necesitamos una revolución verde donde nuestros mercados estén accesibles y con justicia social.
No hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver. Llevar bocado de alimento al estómago mañana es lo que hoy tenemos que entender. En la alimentación los monopolios extranjeros nos quitan vida y no aseguran nuestro futuro. Hoteles en nuestras tierras no producen alimentos.
Hay que luchar por tener un número de campesinos/agricultores necesarios para alimentar el resto de la población.
Puerto Rico necesita despertar, ser reaccionario y perceptivo a esta necesidad que está por venir, debido a sequías y a otros problemas en el mundo que nos suple.
La soberanía alimentaria de Puerto Rico tiene que ser parte de la política de nuestra isla.

After several years of strong migration, more Puerto Ricans now live in the fifty states than in Puerto Rico. According to the 2010 Census, there are 4.7 million Puerto Ricans living in the non-territorial United States and 3.7 million living in Puerto Rico. All states but one experienced an increase in their Puerto Rican populations between 2000 and 2010, with 300,000 additional people moving from Puerto Rico to the states between 2005 and 2009 as the territory experienced a recession.
Although Puerto Ricans remain most concentrated in the Northeast and Florida, Puerto Rican communities appear in almost every state throughout the country. For example, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey from 2008 and 2009, the Puerto Rican population of Alaska grew nine percent - from 4,587 to 5,000. Texas saw one of the largest growths in its Puerto Rican populations: a 12 percent increase, from 104,564 to 115,871.
The Midwest also experienced an influx of Puerto Ricans during this time. The American Community Survey raised its estimate for Puerto Ricans in Ohio 9.4 percent, from 78,549 to 85,909 between its 2008 and 2009 estimates, an increase of 7,360 people. Over the same time period, the Puerto Rican population in Indiana grew five percent from 26,768 to , a difference of 1,333.
Populations also grew in areas already known for their strong Puerto Rican constituencies. In Florida, the state with the second-largest number of Puerto Ricans, the population grew 7.1 percent from 714,153 to 764,611, an increase of 50,458. Even in New York, which is losing Puerto Ricans to Florida and Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rican population slightly expanded between 2008 and 2009 from 1,084,417 to 1,090,272, or 0.5 percent. Connecticut had a similar story, with its population increasing by 6,395, or 2.9 percent, over the same time period (2008 to 2009).
In the South, the number of Puerto Ricans grew 12.2 percent in Virginia, up 7,165 from 58, 577 to 65,742. The population grew 8.4 percent (from 50,762 to 55,032) in North Carolina and 6.4 percent (from 53,850 to 57,277) in Georgia.
Finally, the Mid-Atlantic States have not been left out of this population growth. Delaware experienced the largest percentage increase in the region, with the Puerto Rican population growing 10 percent from 17,902 to 19,691. Pennsylvania’s Puerto Rican population also grew significantly from 312,730 to 339,222, an increase of 8.5 percent.
According to the Statistical Institute of Puerto Rico, people leaving Puerto Rico tend to be younger and more educated than those who chose to remain. This may stem from Puerto Rico’s unusually high unemployment rate, which significantly exceeds those of the fifty states and has done so for many years. Economists and others who care about Puerto Rico’s future are concerned about the impact of the Island’s “brain drain.” There is a common lament that if only Puerto Rico could finally resolve its status debate, officials could dedicate the time and attention necessary to address economic challenges and end the wave of migration from Puerto Rico.
