The time may have come when you are asked to stand up for the principles of this nation as they exist in written form, and to defend its Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic. Are you ready? Will you rise up, arm-in-arm, against a government that ignores those principles in pursuit of its own goals of giving our nation’s security away to foreign influences and domestic buyers? Can you be counted on to pledge your sacred honor, your fortunes and your lives to protect the United States of America, imperfect though it may be, in order to see her further perfected in pursuit of the equal, and inalienable, rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for all her residents and in all her provinces?

Will you support and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic?
If you answered yes, what have you done today to help the citizens of the US territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands? Seven months ago their homes were bulldozed by not just one but a series of hurricanes, and our so-called government led by a so-called president who sees those islands as places he can build profitable resorts and dump industrial wastes has done NOTHING, if not worse, to help these devastated Americans.

When Hurricane Maria battered their home island in September, Puerto Ricans on the U.S. mainland activated immediately. At a Johns Hopkins panel discussion Tuesday that assessed Puerto Rico's recovery six months after the devastating storm, scholars described how Puerto Ricans in the diaspora ignited an wave of grassroots support through social media and personal favors, leading to mass deliveries of supplies to the island.
It's a "complete shift in the paradigm of emergency response," said Yale infectious disease specialist Marietta Vazquez, one of the panelists.
