1940 PlatformsThe following platforms were added to the article to include a better historical record understanding of the principal political parties’ position.

Democratic Party 1940 Platform

Territories and District of Columbia

We favor a larger measure of self-government leading to statehood, for Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. We favor the appointment of residents to office, and equal treatment of the citizens of each of these three territories. We favor the prompt determination and payment of any just claims by Indian and Eskimo citizens of Alaska against the United States.

We also favor the extension of the right of suffrage to the people of the District of Columbia.

Democratic Party Platform of 1940

Republican Party 1940 Platform

Puerto Rico

Statehood is a logical aspiration of the people of Puerto Rico who were made citizens of the United States by Congress in 1917; legislation affecting Puerto Rico, in so far as feasible, should be in harmony with the realization of that aspiration.

Please could you review the POV added on the Granting of U.S. citizenship and cultural identity: Where classify the Taff personal opinion as the US position. This is clearly a complete false statement.

Everybody known that the last poll about U.S. Citizenship on 2008 indicates over a 90 percent of support in Puerto Rico!

Re:Arango
No, I wasn't aware. What a shameful political mess. It is a good thing that I have dedicated myself to writing about PR history and notable figures instead of becoming a politician. Right now I am writing short bios of notable Puerto Ricans in the medical field to compliment the "List of Puerto Rican scientists and inventors". Tony the Marine (talk) 01:28, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
