More Abramoff Connections to Puerto Rico
Jack Abramoff is reported to be negotiating a plea agreement to avoid a trial on the charges against him.
Inquiring minds want to know about a group called "The Future of Puerto Rico". This group paid Abramoff $1.22 million from 1998 until mid-2000, according to lobby reports on file with the Secretary of the U.S. Senate.
The problem here is not being paid for lobbying work, but the cause Abramoff appears to be fighting for: making impoverished, Spanish-only Puerto Rico our 51st state.
Abramoff was known as a conservative Republican, yet he was willing to to fight for the other team. Granted, he did not come cheap, earning sixty thousand dollars per month from January to June of 1998.
Given its economic circumstances and dislike of the English language, a 51st state of Puerto Rico annexed to the United States would benefit conservative Republican causes not one bit.
