PR: Protesting Cheney

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing.

Local politicians downplayed the protest, saying Cheney's visit was significant in drawing attention to Puerto Rico's 4 million people, who hold American passports but can’t vote for president and have no vote in the U.S. Congress. Another 4 million Puerto Ricans live on the U.S. mainland.

A visit like Cheney's "always raises attention," Sen. Miriam Ramirez said. The demonstrators "will protest anything that is American in Puerto Rico."

Hmmm. If they'll protest anything American in PR, I wonder if that means they'll exercise their free speech rights and burn their U.S. passports?
