UPDATE 9/28/17
Trump temporarily lifts Jones Act to bolster Puerto Rico relief
THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT
YESTERDAY’S POST
In addition to all the aide en route to and already in Puerto Rico, in the very short term the best thing the Trump administration can do is to waive the Jones Act (a.k.a. Merchant Marine Act of 1920).
Pres. Trump is visiting PR next Tuesday. I urge you to call the White House at Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414, and email, right now urging the President to suspend the Jones Act during this emergency.
Read my post, Call for action: Ask Pres. Trump to suspend the Jones Act.
I sent an email to the WH. They sent me an acknowledgement.
Here is what Wikipedia has to write about the Jones Act.

Thank you OT!
