69 House Republicans voted to help Puerto Rico die. This diary give the details:
"Disposable Puerto Ricans" are just like Trump's tossed paper towels—only they are not white
Those 69 Republicans voted against House, H.Res. 569: Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2017., in other words, money to buy food for Puerto Rico, and funding for FEMA in general.
The package includes $18.7 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) disaster relief fund — including $4.9 billion for a disaster relief loan account — $16 billion to address national flood insurance program debt and $576.5 million for wildfire recovery efforts. It also provided $1.27 billion for disaster food assistance for Puerto Rico

All of them would likely claim to be "Pro-Life" but there is no Pro-Life Side to Genocide. Have no illusions: People are dying in Puerto Rico.
Most of these Republicans claim to be committed Christians. There is no "Christian" argument for Genocide. The Good Samaritan did not ask whether the victim owed money, or what race or religion he was. He asked himself what the injured man needed.
3.5 million people in Puerto Rico need food and water. Puerto Rico is bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island and has as large a population as Connecticut. It has mountains as tall as Vermont.
Most Republicans voted for this resolution. These folks have no excuses. Write them. Call them.
Most of all, run against them. Tell everyone they are not Christian and not Pro-Life. Run ads in Spanish media to be sure everyone knows of their vote. Tell everyone that this Genocide can be stopped if we help stop it, and if we don't, we are guilty too.
And Vote.
