    Puerto Rico

    Would someone please tell me what they are supposed to do in Puerto Rico? Its part of the US of A! It may yet become the 51st state. The people there a born citizens of our country. And, they speak Spanish. Wnen they attend a baseball game, a common event, will they be required to sing in English?

    And, if we want a really neat new national anthem, how about "Lift Every Voice and Sing?" It really rocks.
