The Election

The Election

By Jonathan Morales Rosario

The General Elections of Puerto Rico, the “Island national game”, this event take place, every four years. We have now four different players and each one have played well, some of them have great defense and others have great strategies and offensive, some have a weak point others have great points.

The election in Puerto Rico are going to be really though, we are expecting a battlefield, but I got faith that no matter what Anibal Acevedo, Luis Fortuño, Edwin Irrizary and Rogelio Figuero say the people of Puerto Rico are the ones that have the last word on this matter, we as voters have the right to chose between what is right and what is easy, between what is good and what is wrong. We need to have a team of great mind on the top positions of our land otherwise we can expect four years of the same of the last decades. We could have, hypothetically talking, Acevedo and his team or Fortuño and his team even Rogelio and his team, but we are not going no place if there is no a real UNION within them, there north have to be the greater good for our land and not from them self as individuals and not as a group. Political leaders have to think that we are citizen and stop thinking that we are voters, and they have to think that the day after the elections. Stop thinking that this is a war of three groups: the one that follows the independence, the follow that statehood and the ones who like the way we are know; and start thinking that Puerto Rico need its people to stay, because all the student or the majority of students that graduate leave the country to try to find better opportunities. The problem of the “Political Status” will be a problem that it will be solve, but for know lets try to solve the economical problem, the health problem, and the security and drugs addiction. And for Christ sake stop taking the money of the people that gave you there trust.
