September 15, 2008
“In Puerto Rico where you all come from over 85 percent of the people turn out to vote in every single election, and somehow when we move to the mainland we try to keep our language, we try to keep out lechon asado (roast pork) we certainly keep our music, but sometimes we forget the one of the important things about being Puerto Rican is that we register to vote and you turn out to vote in huge numbers. And unfortunately up here on the mainland only twenty or thirty percent of Puerto Ricans register and vote in the elections and that’s like giving away part of being Puerto Rican.” said McClintock.
