Help your colleagues in Puerto Rico

A recent hurricane in Puerto Rico has put cancer patients, doctors and hospitals in a difficult situation. In Puerto Rico's radiation oncologists, the main problem is the lack of electricity and the collapse of the fuel distribution system, telling us that the final consumer's shipment and the generator's fuel are scarce. In addition, water supply and communication are very limited. Authorities have made some progress in alleviating these problems, but their progress is slow.

Fortunately, there are emergency generators in the RT center of PR, if not all. Unfortunately, authorities trying to reestablish fuel allocation and some hospital managers do not list RT centers as highly valued providers.

At the grassroots level, contact Congressional leaders, often informing that ongoing radiation therapy can save lives and have absolute medical needs. Puerto Rico's radiotherapy center needs to prioritize fuel distribution in order to keep the generator running.

Communication in Puerto Rico is still very limited. You can help your colleagues through their Facebook page

After years of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico can still borrow your help. How can you help? Many resorts and attractions are still struggling to open doors to visitors, but about 80% of hotels and restaurants in Puerto Rico are ready to welcome travelers. Tourism accounts for 10% of GDP in Puerto Rico. The best way to support this island is to visit right now. My name is Magaly Rivera and I am proud to be Puerto Rican. Take a moment to explore the tropical islands of Puerto Rico, where you can find local exotic retreats, miles of white sand beaches, mountains and valleys, and many other natural wonders. In addition to the natural glow, you will find yourself surrounded by 500 years of history; and warm and friendly people

Since 1898, Puerto Rico is the territory of the United States (colony), in 1917 the Puerto Rican people acquired US citizenship through parliamentary law. However, the Puerto Ricans who live in Puerto Rico do not enjoy the full benefit of becoming a US citizen. For example, despite paying the same Medicare tax as the other 50 states, Puerto Rico's funds declined 38%. People living in Puerto Rico can not vote for the President of the United States (but they can vote for the president's primary election) and they have not voted in Congress.

Since 2007, the State Department of Puerto Rico created a protocol to issue Puerto Rico's citizenship certificate to Puerto Ricans. In order to be qualified, the applicant must be a Puerto Rico born born in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, or a US citizen residing in Puerto Rico for at least one year. The Puerto Rican Senate has announced a bill to limit the rights of the island's independence and nationalist movements. At that time the Senate was controlled by the People's Democratic Party (PPD), Lewis Munoz Marin chaired. This bill, also known as the gag law (Spanish: Ley de la Mordaza), was approved by Congress on May 21, 1948. It shows the flag of Puerto Rico, singing songs that support independence, indicating that it is illegal or election independent.
