Melones. Org - The First Of Its Kind

[Borincano]

"...What is melones.org?

Melones.org is an online magazine where melones, autonomists, realista independence supporters, leftist Popular Party members, and practical writers can express themselves. The site wishes to be open, dynamic, and maintain a radical but practical perspective on Puerto Rico's issues. Melones.org is a meeting ground for thinkers, intellectuals, pragmatics, and analysts. A "melon think tank," you might say.

Melones.org is also the first and only melón publication in the history of contemporary Puerto Rico...."

It is a very interesting website especially since the term "Melon" is suppose to be used in a drreogatory fashion against the independentistas who vote Popular in every election in order to keep the statehood party for gaining more ground. I consider myself an independentista to the bone but the evergrowing threat of statehood is becoming more obvious and more blatant. However, we have to find another alternative to the ELA (current Commonwealth status) that is currently the relationship between PR and the US. I feel that Libre Asociacion (Free Association) is the best way to handle this at this moment. There is a lack of organization within the vertiente independentista and we should first work towards more autonomy and then independence. One thing I remain sure of, if we pull our resources together, Puerto Rico will be free.
