1. Be Alejandro Garcia Padilla.
Gif from Politiseo.
2. Write a letter to Congress asking them to not support HR 2000, Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi‘s bill to admit Puerto Rico as a state, and to withdraw as cosponsors.

Letter from Governor Garcia Padilla discovered by the Puerto Rico Report.
3. Receive word three weeks later that not only did not a single congressman withdraw as a cosponsor, but instead the bill added one more.
