Hey guys, I want to put into perspective why the Jones Act must be repealed.

The first most important reason is the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. People are left with no medications, no fresh water, and no food. Hospitals have no fuel for their generators. Thousands may die in the upcoming weeks because ships can't get there with the supplies Americans worked hard to buy and send.

Shipping restrictions from the Jones Act keeps aid from reaching PR on time. But, it doesn't just affect Puerto Rico, it affects Hawaii and the mainland U.S.. thanks to high gas prices. Yup, because of the shipping restrictions in fuel transport you pay more for your gas. You pay more just because of an oudated law. Stand UP! Rise UP and Join the Cause! Repeal the Jones Act, Join US
