	Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico —or Partido Popular Democrático de Puerto Rico (PPD) in Spanish— is a political party that stands for Puerto Rico to be a free associated state of the United States, which is also known as a commonwealth status.
		The PPD is currently the party in power in Puerto Rico, with Aníbal Acevedo Vilá as governor, having won the 2004 elections.
		It was also the year that Santitos Negron, mayor of Cabo Rojo, left the party to become the first man not affiliated with any of the three major parties in Puerto Rico to win an electoral position in the country when he retained his seat as mayor as an independent candidate.

		Acevedo Vilá was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and attended the Colegio San José High School in the same municipality, where he graduated as president of the class in 1979.
		Although the project failed to become law, Puerto Rico's elected officials at the time headed by Governor Pedro Rosselló organized a non-binding plebiscite to define Puerto Rico's political status, in which Puerto Ricans were given five options in the ballot: commonwealth,, statehood, independence from the United States, or "none of the above".
		Acevedo and his party believed that the definition for the commonwealth which was included in the plebsicite ballot was ill-defined; therefore, his party campaigned for the "none of the above" option, which ultimately won over the other options on the ballot.

		The PDP partially justified its decision to avoid a primary on the $2 million cost of the vote.
		The real reason the party is straining to avoid a primary battle is the fear of the bad blood it would bring.

	USCA1 Opinion 00-2083
		We concluded that Puerto Rico, which is not a State, may not designate electors to the electoral college, and therefore that the residents of Puerto Rico have no constitutional right to participate in the national election of the President and Vice-President.
		The United States citizens residing in Puerto Rico to this day continue to have no real say in the choice of those who, from afar, really govern them, nor as to the enactment, application, and administration of the myriad of federal laws and regulations that control almost every aspect of their daily affairs.
		Puerto Rico is home to a vibrant intellectual and cultural community which includes many institutions of higher education and other indicia of modern society, as well as a solid economic foundation which is wholly integrated into the National framework.

	Politics in Puerto Rico
		Puerto Ricans cannot vote for the President of the U.S. despite their citizenship since they are not liable to pay Federal Income Taxes.
		The Popular Democratic Party controlled Puerto Rican Politics until 1968 but in the last 18 years there has been an increasing number of people who desire Puerto Rico to be a new state in the Union.
		Puerto Ricans with their sense of humor usually give a tone of comedy to some of those differences keeping however well aware of the serious significance of these in their lives and in the future of the island.

		The Party challenged the Governor, alleging that under Puerto Rico statutes only candidates and electors affiliated with the Party could participate in the by-election.
		On appeal from a Superior Court judgment favoring the Party, Puerto Rico's Supreme Court modified the judgment holding that a by-election was only required if the party of the legislator vacating the seat fails to name a replacement within 60 days.
		This scheme is particularly reasonable in light of Puerto Rico's interest in maintaining continuity of party representation until the next general election and insuring its legislature's delicate balance of minority representation.

		Her opinion regarding this process to resolve Puerto Rico's political status deserves respect and should be treasured, particularly as one who was born in the 19th century, before the United States flag was raised in Puerto Rico.
		These are the words of compact between the people of Puerto Rico and the Congress, a compact the Congress proposed to rid the United States of the shame of colonialism before the international community, recognizing that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

	Building consent: The Popular Democratic Party and colonial politics in Puerto Rico, 1932--1948.
		By defining consent as a common aspiration for change that did not preclude different courses of action and perceptions, this dissertation focuses on the rise of broad support for the PPD without denying the capacity of agents to make claims of their own and to shape the outcome of events.
		The emergence of consent entailed a process through which many sectors of Puerto Rican society overcame their exclusion from political debate and constituted themselves as a viable political force.
		By examining the culture-bound experiences of PPD leaders and followers, this dissertation sheds light on the haphazard process of responsiveness, dialog, dispute and contestation that informed the political bond among certain agents as well as the displacement of others.
