She's pretty right?
 Right she's a little girl?
Right she's Caribbean?
Right she's Dominican?
Right she's dominican-Haitian?

Like us:  

Dominican-York, Dominican-Americans, Dominicans in New York.
Yes! she is Diaspora
Right she is transnational, transcaribbean ...us.
The President Leonel Fernandez  ...
Right he abuses just like the last president (Hipólito Mejía)
Leonel doesn’t have the power to negate a person's name.
She was born in Dominican Republic
What does it matter that her parents are part Haitian and Dominican (who fell in love)?
What does it matter that she was born from Haitian parents, that fell in love in "The most beautiful land that a human being has ever laid eyes on"? 
What does it matter that she was born from Dominican-Haitian parents that had the most purest and sincerest love? 
Right that Leonel doesn’t have the right to reelect himself another term ... after he negated and is hurting this beautiful little girl that was born in Dominican Republic, from Dominicans and or Haitian parents for the reason that was said in Rafael Solano's song: "Por Amor”.
Leonel Fernández, Please!! Don’t negate her what our sons and daughters also have here in the USA as a right: A Nationality, a Name, and a birth certificate. 
Leonel Fernandez, in the name of God doesn’t get reelected. Please!! 
You can get reelected, yes, but not in my name 
You can get reelected, yes, but those who vote for you, are voting for a tyrant.
You can get reelected yes, and exactly for messianic appetite.
Leonel don’t used my name and the name of my country against this little girls that is also my daughter... like my son born in the USA with a birth certificate with a name and a nationality: proudly a Dominican-American.
Right she's beautiful?
Right that the rare look in her eyes is a cultural act  
You hair curly… fills me with hope and love  
Also it fills me with a lot of NO's towards Leonel...
Also it fills me with a lot of NO's towards your reelection.
