Coming Soon: The 51t State? (VIDEO)







"Puerto Rico may be getting another status vote.

The White House budget submitted to Congress Wednesday includes a $2.5 million appropriation for Puerto Rico to hold another plebiscite on its relationship to the United States.

Calling for another vote indicates the Obama administration has rejected the argument that Puerto Ricans voted to become the 51st state in a two-part referendum held in November. But the proposal also recognizes that a majority of Puerto Ricans aren't happy with their current commonwealth status."*

Another status vote is coming, and there is a chance that Puerto Rico will become the 51st state. If this happened, we would need a new flag-- what would it look like, and would conservatives stand for it? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
