Talk:Puerto Rican Independence Party

message: Some of this is obviously biased, e.g. "Puerto Ricans are still struggling to attain sovereignty and independence." Not all Puerto Ricans want independence. As far as you have additional facts, please work them into the existing article, don't just overwrite all of it. --Wik 23:20, Sep 13, 2003 (UTC)
: Puerto Rico has been a colony of the United States since 1898, as a result of the Spanish-American War. As part of that War, the United States Armed Forces invaded Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898.  Puerto Ricans are still struggling to attain sovereignty and independence.
This paragraph is surely POV, and cannot be included in any article.  RickK 00:47, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) was founded in 1946 with the purpose of seeking and obtaining independence by every pacific mean available. The PIP is committed to achieving Puerto Rico's national freedom and laying the foundation for a sound, responsible transition from our present day colonial government to full-flegged independence.
Sounds like a party press release.  Leave out "for a sound, responsible" RickK 00:47, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

text: On the 70's the newly elected PIP president, Rubén Berríos Martínez, then 31, led a protest against the US Navy in Culebra.  At that time, he was found guilty of tresspassing so called federal lands and was incarcerated for three months.
"So0called"?  Again POV, and can't be in the article.  RickK 00:47, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: : Later, on 1999, Rubén Berríos repeated his protest, along with PIP leaders who became became active on the struggle that many citizens of the town of Vieques, Puerto Rico had against the presence of the military there. The Navy had to leave on both cases, from Culebra in 1971 and Vieques in 2003.
: The Party's flag is green with a white cross.  The green color signifies hope of becoming free. The white cross signifies the sacrifice and commitment of the Party with democracy.

message: Does anyone know what PIP would do for the incredible amount of aid that they receive from the United States if Puerto Rico were to become independent. Do they have any expressed ideas? Would they instead apply for foreign aid?  If they have made any public statements, IMHO, they should be included in the articleDie4Dixie 16:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
