I am a 4th year high school student and I am doing a persuassive paper on obtaining statehood for Guam. This website had a wealth of information and was extremely helpful to me in my research. The only thing I failed to see on the website however, was an author of all the information. To use and promote any of it, I would have to make note of one or several authors. If the Guam Statehood Task Force could update and insert a primary author for the pages of information or send it to me in an email I would be very much obliged.
Keep up the good work and know that your efforts to educate our island community on this subject are greatly appreciated. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family.

Something else to think about – the U.S. also has its sights on Tinian and Saipan as part of this military build-up. I strongly believe that all the islands making up the Northern Marianas should join with Guam in seeking statehood – in becoming one state. We then would be the pacific gateway to America.
Just a thought here, what ARE the qualifications to become a state? Like... isn't there supposed to be a certain amount of population?
Just curious.
Personally, I'd like to see Guam become a state. I'm tired of having to call companies and give them a history of Guam and how we're Americans and not a 'foreign' country and how we shouldn't have to pay the foreign rate for something. I also hate how when I go on the 'Net to order something, Guam is placed under a foreign country and not a state or territory. Heck, sometimes it doesn't appear at all!
Oh, and combining with the CNMI? Nah... I disagree there. but that's another post.
