	Puerto Rican Independence Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Puerto Rican Independence Party (Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP) in Spanish) is a Puerto Rican political party that campaigns for the independence of Puerto Rico from the United States.
		During the 2004 elections, the PIP was in serious danger of disappearing, obtaining only 2.4% of the popular vote (According to Puerto Rican electoral laws, a party that receives less that 3% of the vote is considered eradicated).
		The PIP's symbol is a green flag with a white cross; because of this, it is identified as the green party, both with the voting public and in the election ballots.

	Encyclopedia: Partido Nuevo Progresista (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico —or Partido Nuevo Progresista de Puerto Rico (PNP) in Spanish— is a political party that campaigns for Puerto Rico to become a state of the United States.
		The governing party was saddled by the break-away candidacy of then governor, Roberto Sanchez Vilella, who had feuded with the PPD leader, Luis Munoz Marin.
		His period as governor was filled with controversy when 3 PIP followers were shot to death in the late 1970s (see: Alejandro González Malave).

	PUERTO RICO HERALD: Partido Puertorriqueno Independence Plan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Partido Puertorriqueno plan marks the only road leading to independence for Puerto Rico today, short of a unilateral decision by the United States to cut Puerto Rico loose.
		What is needed is a cadre of young, intelligent and articulate Puertorriquenos, skilled in debate and dedicated to the propositions and agenda set out in the plan and the explanatory summary transmitted herewith, who are capable of taking this message to the people of Puerto Rico.
		This is essential to advancing the cause of independence because, absent a clear expression of desire for independence by an overwhelming majority of Puertorriquenos, the government of the United States is unlikely to move in that direction.

	About Puerto Rico . . . Politics
		New Progressive Party (Â“Partido Nuevo ProgresistaÂ” - telephone (787) 721-1992) - favors becoming a state of the union (between 45% and 48% of voters).
		Puerto Rico Independence Party (Â“Partido Independentista PuertorriqueÃ±oÂ” - telephone (787) 782-1455) - favors total political independence and a friendly political relation with the United States of America.
		Due to the fact that the two major political parties share approximately equal portions of the total vote, many times it is actually the vote of the minority Independence party and unaffiliated voters that makes the significant difference in elections, status plebiscites and referendums.

		Manuel Rodríguez Orellana, a Puerto Rican senator representing the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP), characterized the struggle over the offshore island of Vieques as a microcosm of Puerto Rico’s inferior status as a veritable colony of the United States.
		Rubén Berríos Martínez, the PIP’s venerable leader, lived in a tent for months on U.S. Navy property, quickly evolving into the de facto head of the “free Vieques” movement.
		PIP head Berríos Martínez, was arrested on May 10 for entering the base a second time.

	Global Insight // Our Perspective
		Yet, the candidate from the Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP) and ex-governor of Puerto Rico, Pedro Roselló, continues to contest the results.
		Since the party color for the PIP is green and the one for the PPD is red, they argue that these swing voters are like watermelons—green in the outside but red in the inside.
		These members of the PIP (the independence party) have recently supported the PPD party candidate for governor, primarily to prevent the PNP candidate (who wants U.S. statehood) from winning the post.

		In the 1996 elections, the PIP’s vote was less than 4 percent, compared to 51 percent for the PNP and 44 percent for the PPD.
		Mari Bras, the leadership of the PIP, and other pro-independence activists going as far back as the 1930s belong to a group of middle-class intellectuals and professionals who aspire to be part of a new Puerto Rican ruling class.
		Since the independentista movement focuses on political independence at the expense of social issues, it cannot address the everyday concerns of the one million Puerto Rican workers on the island.

		Historically, there have been three major political parties in Puerto Rico:
		The PPD and PNP have exchanged the Governor's seat since 1948, but the PIP has also had an impact on the election: many consider that the small group of PIP voters could have made a difference as to which of the other two major parties won some of the close elections.
		This latter phenomenon is locally referred to as the watermelons (or melones in Spanish), because of the party colors of those who vote for the PPD (red) but in reality support the PIP (green)
