Talk:Luis Fortuño/Archives/2008/July

Unsourced allegations to be discussed

I have transferred from the article for discussion the following unsourced allegations:

Links to the Abramoff scandal

Resident Commissioner Luis G. Fortuño has also been involved in allegations from the local Puerto Rican press regarding campaign donations from several ranking members of the "Abramoff gang". Supposedly, Luis Fortuño accepted donations from Republicans like Jerry Weller, Tom Feeney, and Don Young, all of them linked in some way or another to Abramoff. Some speculations say that Fortuño ranks in the bottom tier of a coalition of Republicans that trades campaign donations for earmarks and approval of legislation which benefits Republican candidates. One of the controversial legislations is the confirmation of United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico, Rosa Emilia Rodriguez, who was approved disregarding the due process of scrutiny from the Senate."

Highly inflammable political content such as this should be thoroughly sourced prior to placement in the article. Pr4ever (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Response to unsourced allegations

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia in which everyone from every kind of perspective is allowed to post information accordingly. The controversies section has just been updated with the actual references and videos that confirm the press inquiring Fortuno about the donations, articles about the issue and links to other sources. The text is not politically biased, it is an objective information that informs the reader about his controversies, just as the Acevedo Vila page has one section regarding the donation scandal. This section does not state that the speculations are a truthful fact, it is just a section to stress the importance of those allegations, whether they are true or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.50.172.189 (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
