        The Hill: Fortuño ‘sleeper pick’ for VP – Caribbean Business - 16/04/12

        Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño is a “sleeper pick” to be the running mate for presumptive Republican Party presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to a report in The Hill.

        The Washington, D.C.-based political news outlet cites GOP strategists who say Fortuño as a vice presidential pick could help the Republican Party’s bid to lure Latino voters.

        Fortuño, who heads the island’s New Progressive Party, is running for a second term in La Fortaleza.

        Considered a rising star in the GOP, Fortuño endorsed Romney ahead of the crucial Florida primary in February. The governor cited the former Massachusetts’ governor’s pledge to pursue statehood for Puerto Rico if that option wins a status plebiscite in November.

        The Hill noted that front-runner Romney has kept his cards close to his chest on vice presidential prospects, saying that it would be “presumptuous” to think about it before winning the nomination. But in a recent interview with Newsmax, he described Fortuño as “a solid conservative and a firm leader.” He also dubbed Fortuño “one of the great leaders of our party.”

        Romney has tapped a longtime adviser to begin his search for a vice presidential candidate.

        Romney said Monday that Beth Myers is in charge of "selection and vetting and analysis."

        “I have selected someone who has been a counselor of mine for a number of years, Beth Myers. She was my chief of staff when I was governor,” Romney said during an interview with Diane Sawyer of ABC News outside Fenway Park in Boston.

        Romney is moving forward as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee after rival Rick Santorum suspended his campaign last week.

        Myers was Romney's chief of staff when he was Massachusetts governor. She currently is a senior adviser on his presidential campaign.

        When asked about Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Romney said “he’s one of the terrific leaders in our party.”

        “But I think it’s way too early to begin narrowing down who the potential vice presidential nominees might be,” he said. “But we’re beginning that process, we'll talk about a lot of folks, and then go through the kind of vetting and review process that you have to go through to make sure whoever you select will pass the evaluation that's required by the American people.”
        Romney wouldn’t offer any hints as to when the months-long process would end.
        “We do have a deadline in mind as to when I’d like to be able to reach a decision but I'm not giving you that date at this stage,” he said in the interview, adding that it would “certainly” happen before the Republican National Convention in late August.

        I think it's a huge honor for all Puerto Ricans. For the 1st time in history, included in the long list of       potential nominees for the VP slot of one of the 2 major national       parties.
        While he could not directly deliver any electoral votes,       he could tip the scales in a close race in swing states, such as Florida       and Ohio, states with significant PRican populations. Whoever wins FL AND OH wins the presidency.
        Having said that, the conservatism of the       GOP virtually precludes Romney from picking LGF.
        I'm not sure that       the extremist in the GOP would like it to be advertised that LGF's       successes have a lot to do with discarding some Republican ideas and       picking some non-Republican ideas.
        When he laid off 12,505       non-essential public servants, a Republican idea, he gave them a generous       severance package, a Democratic idea, and immunized teachers and police       from layoffs, another Dem idea.
        The GOP wants to sell Republican       ideas, not the fact that consensus building is a better       strategy.
        While LGF wants to strengthen borders, a Republican       ideas, he openly favors Obama's immigration policy, a no-no in the       GOP.

        Puerto Ricans: Great Americans - Great Hispanics deserve permanent union - Puerto Rico Daily Sun

        February 18, 2012: It all came clear to me why the letters to the editor in the Star are always attacking me, Mike Herrick, Kenneth McClintock and Sherman Wildman and his staff at WOSO. We are honest, upfront, highly vocal supporters of statehood for Puerto Rico. Today, the Star revealed that it is against any kind of permanent union with the United States. Instead the the Star is editorially for independence for Puerto Rico. They reprinted as a STAR EDITORIAL the notorious editorial by Allan Wall which appeared in V Dare Foundation’s official publication. Don’t be misled by the title “Viva Puerto Rico! Free Puerto Rico (And The U.S.) Now!” -- Who is rolling the spit balls fired by the same small clique of independentisas in the Star’s letters to the editor?

        If you love both Puerto Rico and the United States, this dishonest editorial will make you very angry. Read it carefully with an open mind.

        I don’t agree with the main premise of this V Dare editorial now adopted as a Star editorial. It is obvious that Allan Wall has not lived among Puerto Ricans in either the United States or on the Island of Puerto Rico as I have. . Most of my Puerto Rican friends, who I know from living in Puerto Rico, are BOTH very Puerto Rican while at the same time very American. They can live both cultures at the same time. There is no conflict! I think it would be arrogant and unfair for me or any other Yankee-type to judge negatively the Americanism or Puerto Ricanism of the Puerto Rican people as a cultural group. I do not like the broad brush strokes of this editorial.

        I do know that several years ago that I visited the large National Cemetery in Bayamon. I started to read the thousands of head stones listing the names of the fallen and the time they served their country the United States. I started to cry for being so arrogant to judge or question Puerto Ricans such as those buried in that hallow ground. It was a moment of truth for me. I turned to a Puerto Rican friend who was on his knees praying at his father’s grave. I ask my friend to forgive me for questioning Puerto Ricans’ patriotism.

        Is corporate greed by foreign companies harming American citizens?

        I emailed a copy of this letter to the Daily Sun VOICES to my friend who was harmed by Hyundai not providing an essential part on time. What is really sad is that this essential part only costs  $150 and there were many in Hyundai’s  parts inventory. Because it took Hyundai eight weeks to supply this part my friend needed, he had to pay $800 extra for car rental. He is a young guy who graduated with high grades from Inter-American University. He has a very limited income. This does not include his other costs in constantly checking for the part’s delivery and the emotional pain to my friend and his loved ones. I hope someone will bring this corporate greed by a foreign company harming an American citizen to President Barack Obama’s attention. Is this an isolated case or does it happen often harming American citizens buying foreign cars?

        Has the Puerto Rico Daily Sun cut off the Star's source for hate letters?

        No letters in today’s Puerto Rico Daily Sun – Tuesday – April 17, 2012.  Almost two weeks of no letters. This is one of my favorite sections of the Daily Sun.

        I wonder if the Puerto Rico Daily Sun is purposely not publishing letters to the editor in order that The San Juan Star's small clique of disgusting hate letter writers have no source to feed on for their hate letters. It is almost two weeks that the Daily Sun has not published letters from readers.

        These haters in the Star love to write personal insults against anyone who is pro-America. These haters will seize on respectful letters in the Daily Sun to distort and insult in every possible way. The letters that they write for The San Juan Star is sick venom and journalism at its worse.

        Today's San Juan Star is the complete opposite of the wonderful,  Pulitzer prize wining original Star. It sure ain't like the one in "The Rum Diary" movie.

        Why does the honorable and wonderful New York Times allow their news service to be in this second generation of The San Juan Star? The Times is in no way like The San Juan Star. The NYT has the highest standards for professionalism and journalism ethics. It should associate with it own kind of honorable journalists and publishers.

        The Puerto Rico Daily Sun has not published letters in over a week now. Today, in the San Juan Star there was a hate letter attacking and distorting the  reality of the Daily Sun. It mentioned in hostile terms the Daily Sun to be Script-Howard right-wing rantings. It went on and on as to how bad the Daily Sun is and against the people, etc. It and other letters also implied that the other PR newspapers are no good either. These pro-Star hate letters state that the Star is the only decent newspaper in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans should believe in the Star and not in the Daily Sun.

        I would think by now that most Puerto Ricans will realize that the Star is a terrible newspaper and not worth 54 cents to buy. I do not understand why The New York Times allows their news and comments  to be published in the Star. Doesn't the NYT check out this unreliable, unethical rag?

        This Star is a shooting star that should burn out and deep six.

        No letters in today's Puerto Rico Daily Sun - Tuesday - April 17, 2012. Almost two weeks of no letters. This is one of my favorite sections of the Daily Sun.
        I wonder if the Puerto Rico Daily Sun is purposely not publishing letters to the editor in order that The San Juan Star's small clique of disgusting hate letter writers have no source to feed on for their hate letters. It is almost two weeks that the Daily Sun has not published letters from readers.
        These haters in the Star love to write personal insults against anyone who is pro-America. These haters will seize on respectful letters in the Daily Sun to distort and insult in every possible way. The letters that they write for The San Juan Star is sick venom and journalism at its worse.
        Today's San Juan Star is the complete opposite of the wonderful, Pulitizer prize wining original Star. It ain't like the one in "The Rum Diary" movie.
        Why does the honorable and wonderful New York Times allow their news service to be in this second generation of The San Juan Star? The Times is in no way like The San Juan Star. The NYT has the highest standards for professionalism and journalism ethics. It should associate with it own kind of honorable journalists and publishers.

        The statistics of many abused children in Puerto Rico and around the world are alarming. Behind every abused child is a story that must be converted into a new beginning of life and hope.
        Every experience a child can make your life positively or negatively. We know that to the extent that those experiences are favorable to them we will be cementing their physical and emotional. Props key to achieving our children reach the potential they have right in their lives.
        As responsible citizens, we must work together-not just during the month of April but 365 days a year to work strongly and defend those who can not do for themselves and whose voices are not heard.
        Our effort should be directed to recall the memory of those children physically abused who are no longer with us, to show solidarity and rescue those children who are innocent victims of this and live the ravages of this disease, and be proactive in support those who survived.
        Do not let the lives of the greatest treasure we have, children, are botched. For a better Puerto Rico, the prevention of child maltreatment must be responsibility.
        Say this, to defend the abused children, seed and promise of the future of our Island

        Representative of the readerT he last Thursday I attended the launch of "Domestic Violence in Law 54, literature, music and movies," authored by Mr. Pedro Malavet Vega, a prestigious lawyer, law professor and writer. The activity was held in the auditorium of the University of the East.
        In charge of the presentation was Dr. Angel Manuel Rivera Incarnation, lawyer, writer and professor in the Department of Social and Human Sciences of this institution.
        Before an audience of mostly young students, Dr. Encarnacion began his speech by quoting "that domestic violence is universal, is manifest in the United States, India, in the Dominican Republic, China, Spain ... In Puerto Rico only 216.831 were identified domestic violence incidents between 2000 and 2010. The reality is much more prolific in terms of these acts and their response must be sought in the whole social order, as does our author. " A frightening figure.
        The exchange literary and socio-legal lasted almost two hours. Discussions such as discrimination against women in Puerto Rico, scenes of violence against women in readings such as Don Quixote in the popular song, from the bolero, the tango, the peasant song to salsa and reggaeton caught the attention of students . Same with the theme of the film industry.
        It was obvious that with a title as indicated and data such as those offered, one hundred young people, insist on identifying demographics, pay attention fixed partners.
        In the end, Mr. Malavet addressed the students with a unique style caught them in a serious discussion of ballast in society is gender violence.
        I conclude with the final words of Dr. Encarnacion in his presentation "as has been seen, the purpose of this paper is to exhaust the subject of domestic violence and present from all possible cultural events. It has become part of every event, from any conduct, to the point that filters them and passes almost unnoticed. The author is convinced that the attack should take an interdisciplinary approach. His effort is a contribution to the awareness of the phenomenon, is a contribution that helps create a more just and egalitarian society. "
        A contribution that we make all.

        Puerto Rico is going through an economic crisis marked on all items. It is sad to see it and live it. So many people suffer from the basic needs for not having money.
        But how much you may receive federal money to implement projects in schools as the SIE project that truly add nothing to teach the student?
        Thousands of dollars going into the pocket of the rich in juicy contracts. The poor teacher of the Department of Education has to take out of your pocket to buy the materials for the classroom, as you have them.
        Blessed, where are we going to stop.

        Abusing a child self-esteem weakens and degrades their dignity. Keep it under the yoke of those who abuse, ruins the possibility of an irreproachable conduct in its development.
        If adults are turning their savage fury against these vulnerable beings of tender age, the final product will be extremely harmful. Unfortunately, this happens every day. The humiliated and abused without mercy, often causing death.
        Do not exterminate the trust and affection that every child gives us a full arms. Take time to rescue these souls battered and burnt uproot them live. There are too many cases of child abuse. Immediate attention to these children does not allow extension.

        Once again we have to bear the style and disrespectful atropellante Thomas Rivera Schatz, to discuss their views.
        In this man does not care how his style and how to proceed discredits the Legislature. When it imposes its criteria as a dictatorship, trample morality. It does not take into account that, by offending the moral employment of members of the Legislature, offends all the voters of Puerto Rico.
        Bhatia is true, the Legislature nauseating! Who is believed to Rivera Schatz? Does he know that Bhatia is emerging as a possible future candidate for governor of Puerto Rico?
        Regardless of the approaches and criteria that may be their opponents in the Senate, Rivera Schatz has to respect them and treat them with the same propriety, honor and respectability that he expects from his opponents.
        As a Puerto Rican, I feel shame for what bajuno and mean it has become the body of the Senate under his presidency. Nobody should miss the words of Eduardo Bhatia, saying that approval of $ 200,000 in the budget of the joint commission on public-private partnerships is to encourage Norma Burgos.

        For over a year's near the intersection of 9 and 9A of the Rio Lajas community in Golden, we have been suffering from the incompetence and lack of sensitivity of the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA).
        A ruptured underground water pipes that could not be detected by the AAA is causing considerable damage to several residences in the sector.
        Water seeps underground and gets inside the houses, yards and full septic tanks. Least two residences in the water exits the room floor and rooms.
        It's a constant leak that worsens with rainfall events and only gives in times when no water service. The main pipe that carries water to the community is an iron pipe in place for over 50 years by locals with the famous program of Mutual Aid and Self Help.
        In more than six occasions AAA crews have come to place pieces of pipe repair and reappears the next day and the water leak, with the aggravating circumstance that increases the places and houses where most leaks occur.
        Currently the road is torn repairs. There have been many efforts to AAA and the municipality of Dorado, but as usual, much bla bla bla and promises, but do nothing to correct the problem.

        The column of Carlos Alberto Montaner, entitled "Vatican Inc. (With apologies)", published on Sunday April 8, is cynical and vulgar shock against the Catholic Church, especially since Pope Benedict did not travel to Cuba to meet with opposition politics, but to gain a voice in a land that has paid expensive suppression of its catholicity.
        While some find it hard to understand, capitalism and the choices are not matters of the Gospels. The pope spoke "without fear or bitterness," others, instead of taking refuge in the easy intricacies of demagoguery, should take example.

        Still in my memory is present on 18 March 1984. 29 years ago when that heart salsa, cocolo of the forest, excellent radio programmer and a great visionary, his dream became reality: the first National Day of Zalsa of the famous radio station Z-93.
        There were only a few thousand, a small platform and a modest sound system, but the great Peter himself who managed and we, the faithful salseros present, never imagined that we were witnessing the beginning of what would be the annual salsa largest and busiest music in Puerto Rico.
        Since then we are more than 30,000 Salseros in each edition and I guess for the celebration of 30 years, this will be the apotheosis and extraordinary. Surely dedicated to that man behind the music world colossus, Pedro Arroyo.
        This is the great legacy that Peter Arroyo leaves all of us, the salsa.
        I give you a million thanks for keeping our music genre alive, for your dedication and your passion and your big heart.
        Men like you make a difference in our culture and our country. Thanks to you the zalsa is spelled with z.
        May you rest in peace and live the zalsa!
