8 WESTERN CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS November 1, 2000 Puerto Rico-U.S. Relations: fl Political Storm Ouer Island's Status The way a question is asked affects its answer greatly. For example, if I were to ask about Puerto Ricans' right to vote in presidential elections, I could ask the same question twice and get two different answers: "Since Puerto Ricans do not pay taxes to the federal government, do you think they should be able to vote in presidential elections?" However, if the question were to be turned around, it could get a more positive answer: "Since Puerto Ricans serve in the U.S. military, and since they get so much money from the U.S. government every year, do you think they should be able to vote in presidential elections?" Many say the Constitution is clear when it says that states, not individuals and/or territories, vote for the president of the United States. But wait! Doesn't Guam — a territory — vote in presidential elections? Doesn't the District of Columbia — not a state — vote in presidential elections? Yes, they do; these are, however, two very different situations: Guam has no delegates in the Electoral College, and the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution granted the District of Columbia the right to have 3 delegates in the Electoral College. Well if that is the case, this is the question I pose to legislators in Congress: If an amendment to the Constitution was made to allow D.C. — not a state — to have delegates in the Electoral College, why can we not do that to allow Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Philippines to have delegates in the Electoral College? Not only do Puerto Ricans serve in the military, but they also get millions of U.S. dollars in funding — funding that is essential to the island's survival — and they still cannot vote in presidential elections. The right to vote is the corner stone of democracy, and it is quite hypocritical for the U.S. government to be trying to spread the quilt of democracy over the oceans and the lands of the world, and neglect its own citizens. Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917 through the Jones Act. Today, Puerto Ricans that live in any of the 50 states enjoy all the privileges and have all the responsibilities of other U.S. citizens; the ones still living in Puerto Rico, however, are still not full citizens. They don't even get counted in any U.S. census. Puerto Rico has a larger population than over 20 states. If Puerto Rico were to be given the right to vote in presidential elections, it would be entitled to eight delegates in the Electoral College; more delegates than many states of the union. Until the United States realizes that Puerto Rico and its citizens o\q play a big roll in American society — in both the YOUR BEACH AWAY FROM THE BEACH tfl BEACHSIDE TANNING SALON ±a±&Ja£± Don't lose your summer tan !! <& m NEW HOURS WSff <£$nJ>* 9:00-9:00 *>- - ^K MONDAY-FRIDAY 9:00-2:00 SATURDAYS XK \o%o# 1ST TIME CUSTOMER?

(Yellow house beside Jackson County Vet Clinic). ***631-0145*** Stof social and the economic aspects — Puerto Ricans will continue to call themselves Puerto Ricans and not Americans, as it all should be. Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, well over one hundred years. And it still has not representation in Congress (with the exception of a Resident Commissioner; who has a voice, but not a vote), a say in presidential elections, and it's not counted in the U. S. Censuses. To magnify Puerto Rico's importance in and to America, here are the numbers: Instead of Puerto Rico casting a mere eight electoral votes as a state in its own right, Puerto Rican voters could decide New York's 33 electoral votes, Pennsylvania's 23, Illinois' 22, and New Jersey's 15 — a total of 93 electoral votes, or well over one third of the 270 electoral votes required to win the U.S. Presidency. Puerto Ricans have been fighting a political war since 1952, when the government drafted its first constitution, and the U.S. Congress ratified it. Not only will Puerto Ricans continue to fight over their political status, but they will also continue to rebel against the U.S. government as they did recently. About a month ago a judge in Puerto Rico declared that Puerto Ricans would vote in the presidential elections of November 7'\ While another judge in the island declared that the U.S. Department of Justice's decision to carry the federal death penalty in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico's constitution, many argue, is clear just as that of the United States. When the U.S. Distric Judge Salvador Casellas ruled that the federal death penalty was "locally inapplicable" because Puerto Ricans has no voice or vote in federal elections was not a coincidence: It was a way of screaming to the legislator's of America "NONE OF YOUR LAWS WITHOUT REPRESENTATION." It is true that Puerto Ricans are not taxed without representation, but it is just the right to vote that matters in our diverse society because the vote lets us know that we are in control — even if we are not. Despite paying for their citizenship with blood, U.S. citizens residing in Puerto Rico have not entered the presidential ballot box. It is inconceivable to our constitutional order to expect that the government can place our nation's brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts in harm's way and not recognize the power of those individuals to have a say in electing those who will make that decision. These are matters that should be left to the Supreme Court so that body, and not politicians here with pockets lined with money, can spell out once and for all the constitutional validity of a commonwealth.
