Guam: The 51st State or Full Independence?
Posted by Michelle Moquin on July 6th, 2016
Good Morning!
This one is for you, Anna, Peter, Lill and all of my friends on Guam: I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
From RNZ News:
A colony for centuries, Guam pushes for change
For four centuries, the small western Pacific island of Guam has been passed between colonial powers, but within weeks the territory is expected to decide whether to embark on a quest to determine its own political future.
The United States obtained Guam, a banana-shaped island about 50km long, as a spoil of war after the Spanish-American War of 1898 and, apart from a brutal occupation when it was seized by Japanese forces in World War II, it has remained in Washington’s possession since.
Its official status is a ‘non-incorporated territory’ – alongside the Northern Marianas, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands – and despite being US citizens, its people are unable to vote for President, the rights of the US Constitution do not apply, and their only delegate to Congress cannot vote.
Technically, Guam is owned by the United States, but is not part of it, which the island’s governor, second-term Republican Eddie Calvo, in a ‘State of the Island’ address earlier this year, said was a form of colonialism that could not go on.

“It’s time that we confronted the fact that for nearly 400 years the state of our island has been colonial,” said Mr Calvo. “It is the unchanged and unrepentant shadow cast upon our long and unshackled destiny. Now confidence may be the one trigger that can change that colonial state once and for all.”
Mr Calvo, seeking a legacy for when he leaves office, pledged to work to attach a plebiscite to November’s election. A decolonisation commission is expected to report back sometime this month on whether that will be possible.
If that goes ahead, Guamanians will select one of three options – pursue the possibility of becoming the 51st US state, with all the associated rights and burdens, such as federal tax; free association with the United States, a status currently held by the Marshall Islands and Palau, and similar to New Zealand’s relationship with the Cook Islands; or full independence.
The issue has been simmering for years, but the heat has been raised in recent years with plans for a build-up of US military forces, which culminated in Mr Calvo’s call for a vote.

“In a way, Guam represents a previous historical era. A time when colonialism was common,” said Michael Lujan Bevacqua, the chair of the Guam Independence Taskforce. “And in a way, much of the world has come to an understanding that colonialism was bad and we should eradicate it from the world, but there’s still Guam where this hasn’t happened.”
Still, the path to a referendum is not an easy one. For one to happen, Mr Calvo’s government needs to conduct a territory-wide education campaign before securing enough signatures to force a referendum, which Mr Calvo has pledged to do by the middle of July.
There has also been criticism of the relatively short amount of time that would be available to prepare for a referendum, and the way it has been structured (only people who can trace their roots on the island to 1950 will be allowed to vote).

It also has to overcome a legal hurdle that requires 70 percent of the native Chamorro people to sign with the decolonisation registry, a task which many have said is impossible.
But Robert Underwood, a former United States Congressman and the current president of the University of Guam, said while it was difficult to work out how to include the Chamorro in the process, it was essential.
Dr Underwood said the Chamorro people had been living under both Spanish and American occupation since the 1600s, and they needed to finally have a say on the future of their homeland.
“When you have a colony how do you decolonise it? Do you include everybody who showed up because they are a colony or do you try to sort out who are the people who really have primary claim?,” he asked. “And so in the case of Guam I think the case is pretty clear that it is the Chamorro people who have primary claim over this process.”

Long battle ahead
In any case, Dr Underwood said a vote would be merely symbolic, as the final decision on Guam’s political future would rest with Congress in Washington.
Statehood would require the acceptance and support of the other 50 states, and he said it was unlikely that states like California and Texas, with populations of between 30 and 40 million people, would support Guam, with 160,000 people, having just as many Senators in Washington.
And that’s not to mention Guam’s strategic importance to the United States, especially as it pivots to Asia. The US military owns about one third of the island, and it is home to large Air Force and Navy bases. The Pentagon plans to spend close to US$10 billion to significantly bolster these facilities, with plans to move thousands of troops there and establish a Marine Corp presence. This means Congress is unlikely to support Guam going it alone.
Michael Lujan Bevacqua, who supports Guam breaking away from the United States, said a vote would only be the start of a very long battle for recognition.
“We can’t simply look at this as simply like a vote alone. It has to be part of a larger struggle,” said Mr Bevacqua. “The United States has been very clear that whatever we vote on, it is not binding to them. And so it’s really going to be up to us then to submit it to them [and] try to work with them.”
While the people of Guam are divided on whether to sever or strengthen their ties with the United States, Mr Calvo said one thing was clear: “Any status is better than the status quo – an unincorporated territory. Whether it’s statehood, free association or independence, I believe that a change will put us in control of our destiny.”

Charles: Thanks for saying because I cannot stress those EXACT sentiments enough.
Sephen: Did you hear the news? “No charges are appropriate in this case.” Get over it.
Olga: Uhh…yeah. I’m asking the same thing! Dick?
Everett: Please see my comment to Sephen.
Lill on Guam: Lucky you! I hope you had just as much fun here as you did on your home turf.
Marilyn: Becoming a girlz is an individual thing. It should not be done on a group basis. Peer pressure arises out of group decisions. Only those who ask individually and present a convincing argument for being accepted will be considered.
Dominique: So nice to see your name here! You got it. Thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing your comments here more often! Don’t worry about being a novice when it comes to blogging, you’ll fit in just fine. Just voice your opinion and join the conversations here when the articles and readers inspire you to comment. I hope you had a good 4th and you’re feeling better!
Bratt: I know, isn’t it AWESOME!
Mike, TM: Sounds like something the repubs would do. It feels like this is about to get even more interesting. Be well.
Readers: With regards to Hillary, let’s not count our chickens before they hatch. Let’s celebrate when the fat lady sings. Don’t believe anything that you read about Hillary being a landslide. It’s not just about Hillary; just like it wasn’t just about Obama. Look how challenging it has been and is for him to get anything done. It will be the same for Hillary. It won’t mean much if we don’t have coattails – aka: The Senate and The House. Let’s keep inspiring people to jump on board and get out and vote. Thank you!

Agreed. While she may be a landslide (my opinion only) but midterms elections are a must attend voting session also, we’ve got Scotus to think about we cannot have T nominees that’d be fatal.
Luv all the info on Guam it was literally never brought up in school…so thanks for the education.

Hafa Adai Michelle. It’s 2PM on Thursday. So delighted to see this article.
July 6th, 2016 at 9:10 pm
Michelle you are so right about not taking a Hilary win as the big thing. The big thing is for Hilary to win and along with her win comes the win of the Senate back.
Without the winning of the Senate, Hilary can’t appoint the person she wants to be a member of SCOTUS.
Without control of both Houses the republican will continue their obstructionism. They will continue selling out to the highest bidder.
July 6th, 2016 at 9:29 pm
Michelle, I have a bigger copy of your picture in my LivingRoom. I’m 23 and so much in love.
When I finish my undergraduate engineering program here at UC Berkeley in August, I have been selected to pursue my graduate program at MIT.
I would love to meet you before I leave the Bay area. If it is possible, I could email you for a place and time you will feel comfortable meeting me in.

Michelle, you are so right about not taking this election lightly. Taking back the Senate is how we restore the Supreme Court.
We’ve seen monumental decisions defend Roe v. Wade, usher in marriage equality, and uphold the Affordable Care Act. Whether granting reproductive freedom, civil liberties, or healthcare for all — it’s clear the stakes are higher than ever.
But even as the Court hears cases affecting countless American lives — the GOP continues to hold an entire branch of government hostage. We can’t let it go ANY longer.
July 6th, 2016 at 9:45 pm
Michelle, what is with Hilary? She has no fire. She is allowing the republicans to lambaste her.
Where is Elizabeth when Hilary needs her?
July 6th, 2016 at 9:47 pm
Here is another reason why you are correct Michelle.
For 112 days and counting, Mitch McConnell’s majority has IGNORED their constitutional duty to vote on President Obama’s nominee.
Republicans are sabotaging the nation’s highest court to undo our progress — Rachel Maddow called it “unprecedented radicalism in American history.”
People taking back the Senate is how we take back our democracy.
Pay no attention to people who tell you Hilary is a shoe in. Get out there and vote for Hilary and dems in both Houses.
July 6th, 2016 at 9:51 pm
Hafa Adai blogsters.
Thanks Michelle for educating the mainland about the place where America’s Day Begins. Guam is an American Territory and the place that defends America’s interest in the Pacific.
July 6th, 2016 at 10:09 pm
James B. Comey is the best reason for listening to Michelle. Obama had to appoint that republican sympathizer or the republican controlled Congress would not have approved a head of the FBI.
The creep did his best to destroy Hilary after he couldn’t find a legal reason to prosecute her.
July 6th, 2016 at 10:11 pm
If the dems don’t get a clue and get out and vote the republicans out of the Senate we will get more LSOS like FBI Director Comey.
Comey left DOJ in 2005 to serve as general counsel and senior vice president at defense contractor Lockheed Martin. Five years later, he joined Bridgewater Associates, a Connecticut-based investment fund, as its general counsel.
Notice the people and organizations he worked for. He is bought and paid for by the same people who own the republican party.

The do’s and don’ts of drinking at a bar
My regulars walk into the bar like it’s their living room. And in a lot of ways, it is. I’ve worked in restaurants and bars for eight years, and each place had a loyal crowd who stopped by to eat or drink five or six nights a week.
My last bar was a warmly-lit bistro with tin ceilings and leather banquettes. It had a great burger, nightly dinner specials and a seasonal cocktail menu, though my regulars usually preferred the classics: an ice cold gin martini or an Aperol spritz in the garden. Throw in a killer molten chocolate dessert, and there’s no wonder they came back night after night.
Do these people – some of whom I see more than my friends – bother me? Actually, they make working in the service industry better. They turn “just a job” into a makeshift family. So what do my regulars know that others don’t? Here’s how to go from someone your bartender never wants to see again to someone they roll out the red carpet for.
• Don’t say: “Surprise me.” Customers who ask for a surprise are almost never happy with the outcome. “Oh, I actually don’t like tequila/gin/whiskey…” is the most common response to a mystery drink. Your bartender is busy and doesn’t have time to imagine what you might want. They sat down and wrote a cocktail menu for this exact reason.
• Do say: “Make me your favorite.” You still shouldn’t be too picky about what liquor you end up with. But this way, whether you know what you’re getting or not, the bartender doesn’t have to think too much about what to make you. Plus, they get to make their favorite drink. Chances are, they think they make the best version of their favorite, and they can’t wait to share it with you.
• Don’t wave money, yell drink orders or interrupt. Your bartender has a constant to-do list in their minds. They’re making drinks, taking orders, closing tabs and doing floor service all at the same time. Don’t cut them off from talking to another person; don’t scream your order at them and walk away. You’ll get your drink.
• Do keep your cool. One of a regular’s most important qualities is looking at the staff, knowing they’re busy and being completely content with the company of a beer and steak. No bartender wants to look over their shoulder during a rush and feel like they’re neglecting you. Hopefully, you’re a regular because you like bars and people-watching. This is your happy place.
• Don’t act like it’s all about “me, me, me, me.” Bartenders are prepared to be two-bit therapists, but don’t go overboard. It’s really not their job to listen to hours of complaining about your job, your wife, your weight, your mistress, your boss, or your mistress who is your boss.
• Do ask your bartender: “And what about you?” I’ve known my regulars for years. Not only do I know a lot about them, but they know a lot about me. They knew when I graduated college, when I got a new job, when I had a trip planned with my mother, when I wasn’t feeling well, when I was discouraged or inspired. Talk and listen. Talk and listen. Repeat.
• Don’t ask your bartender to slip you a little extra. A lot of bars measure shots and even well drinks these days, and asking your bartender to make your drink stronger, with a coy wink, is not a good idea. This is their job, and managers are watching to make sure their employees follow the rules. Bars make money off liquor, so bartenders can’t pour the bar out for you just because you ask (or scream).
• Do say: “You don’t have to get me anything.” A classy regular will never expect to get anything for free. But guess what: you probably will. I loved to take care of my regulars. Being at a bar because you love the place and the people – not because you get free stuff – will only make a bartender love you more. But be understanding if it doesn’t happen every time.
• Don’t ask: “What time do you get off?” If you thought your bartender was hitting on you because they were being really nice the whole night, I’ve got some bad news: It’s our job to be nice. There are exceptions to this rule, but in general, leave your bartenders alone. Even though you’re out and partying, they’re at work.
• Do understand that bartenders are professionals. A regular knows that their relationship with the staff thrives in the restaurant or bar alone. This is your refuge from the real world; don’t try to mix the two together.
• Don’t tip a dollar per drink, especially on $15 cocktails. Craft cocktails mean your bartender isn’t just pouring a beer from a tap. They’re coming in hours before their shift to make house-made syrups and fresh-squeezed juices and prep drinks that have many ingredients and steps. Tip in a way that shows you’re enjoying your grapefruit, rosemary-infused Tom Collins, and not a Miller High Life.
• Do tip 20 percent based on what the total check should have been. Even when half the check is taken off as a courtesy, a regular tips 20 percent based on what the total should have been. Did you save money? No. But that’s not what being a regular is about.
• Don’t get wasted. Bartenders don’t want to cut you off. They don’t want to call the cops, break up your fights, call you a car, make sure your friends find you or deal with your slurring. It’s late, and they’re a lot more sober than you.
• Do know when it’s time to go home. Sure, a regular can sometimes have one too many. But that’s when they get their hat and leave. Don’t worry about an Irish goodbye. If you’re a regular, your bartender knows you’ll be back.

Guam welcomed 114,930 visitors in May — an 18.6 percent increase over May 2015. The number of arrivals is the third highest during a May in Guam tourism history, according to a release yesterday from the Guam Visitors Bureau. May 1997 still holds the record for the most arrivals with 120,046 visitors.
Significant events helped attract more visitors to Guam during May. Daily increases were noted in the days leading up to the Pacific Asia Travel Association Annual Summit, Festival of Pacific Arts and Guam Live International Music Festival, according to the release. GVB’s Research Department calculated a 20 percent spike when compared to the same time period in 2015.
The number of arrivals from Korea increased to 43,354 during May — a 45 percent increase over the same period in 2015. Visitor arrivals from the Philippines increased over May 2015 by 102.7 percent to 2,343, followed by arrivals from China, with an 85 percent increase over last year to 2,020.
“We couldn’t be more proud of the milestones that were made during Tourism Month,” said Nathan Denight, president and CEO of GVB. “This is a direct result of the work to diversify and grow our visitor source markets and bring new events to the table for visitors and local residents to enjoy.”
Summary of arrivals
Total fiscal year-to-date arrivals achieved a 10.2 percent boost over the first eight months of fiscal 2015, while total calendar year-to-date arrivals have risen 9.7 percent.
Japan arrivals declined slightly by 0.8 percent in May. Work continues to support the growth of the Japan market with travel agents and industry partners. The launch of the new Guam Summer Beach Fest in July and August is anticipated to aid in attracting more Japanese visitors to Guam, according to the release.
So come visit us.

on the days I go to the gym and use the treadmill I’m in a position to see CNN, MSNBC and Fox so called News all at the same time. Nine times out of ten the first two are covering some aspect of the news and the latter is off in its own little bubble talking about something that only they and the idiots that watch it 24 hours a day care about.

Will you fucking dem freaks leave Mr. Trump alone. This shit about him being an anti kike is bullshit. What do the fucking Jews own the symbol?
Do we have to pay royalities to them if we draw it or use it. Get over yourselves. I have nothing against the Jews, but on the same side of the coin I am sick and tired how you can’t say anything against them without everybody getting their panties in a knot.
They are people like the rest of us, no better no worse. They are not God’s chosen ones because God does not exist.

The thugs with badges have just murdered another black man. Let’s get ready for the usual statements from cop defenders:
‘Why did he run if he was innocent?”
“Why can’t black people obey the police when they get pulled over?”
“Why wasn’t he married to the mother of his children?”
:”All Lives Matter.”
“BLM is a terrorist organization that will show up to defend this worthless thug.”
Feel free to add any that I may have missed.

The republicans claim that they are against immigrants because they make Americans less safe. Most of these rests on racial assumptions.
“Stereotypes about immigrants from Middle Eastern or Latin American countries being more dangerous aren’t rooted in reality. Immigrants are no more likely to commit crimes than members of the general U.S. population. And refugees resettled in the United States do not have a history of plotting terrorist acts; in fact, they go through a rigorous security screening — a much more stringent vetting process than many of the people who work in politics.
Although there may be some violent criminal immigrants who enter the country to do harm, a 2013 Human Rights Watch study found that people illegally entered or reentered the country mostly to seek work, to reunite with family members, or to flee violence or sometimes persecution abroad. ” http://thinkprogress.org/immigration/2016/07/07/3795723/americans-anti-immigrant-sentiment/
======================
The republicans feed the lies about immigrants to benefit from latent racism at the polls.

Michelle you are dead on about getting the vote out not just to elect Hilary but to regain control of both Houses of Congress.
The republicans have met to start a campaign in the House and Senate to go after Hilary up until the elections. They intend to hold public Congressional sessions on Hilary Clinton, President Obama, FBI Director, James Comey and the Attorney General of the USA, Loretta Lynch in an attempt to smear Hilary Clinton and hurt her chances of getting elected.
July 7th, 2016 at 6:43 am
The republicans are as corrupt as can be. Yet all we hear from them is how Hilary is guilty of everything they are doing.
July 7th, 2016 at 6:45 am
Fuck that bitch. The FBI said she lied and is incompetent. Only you blind, deaf and dumb liberals would think otherwise.
July 7th, 2016 at 6:46 am
Jeanne Let’s see Hillary Clinton has a politifact rating of 27 percent of pants on fire, false, and false statements.
Donald Trump has a politifact rating of 76 percent of pants on fire, false, and mostly false statements.
First grade math taught me 76 is greater than 27.
July 7th, 2016 at 6:50 am
Ha… not exactly shocked. While Trump claims that HRC bribed James Comey (attacking his credibility as well), seems as though Herr Trump has made some payoffs of his own.
[Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is in a bit of hot water.
The trouble started in June, when the Associated Press reported that Bondi “personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump” in 2013 — right around the time she was deciding whether or not to investigate alleged fraud at Trump University. Trump University, of course, is the controversial for-profit school owned by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
It was only four days after Bondi announced she might join an investigation into Trump University when a Trump family foundation gave $25,000 to a political group supporting Bondi’s re-election. After that money came in, Bondi said she would not pursue a lawsuit against Trump University. Two years later — one day before Florida’s crucial primary election — Bondi endorsed Trump for president.
Bondi has so far denied impropriety, calling the AP’s story “false and misleading.” But the situation is not going away, and calls to investigate Bondi over the donation are piling up.
On Wednesday, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed two complaints against Bondi — one with the Florida Inspector General’s office and another with the Florida Commission on Ethics. Both complaints request investigations into Bondi, saying more information is needed to see whether Bondi violated Florida ethics law for public officials.}
When Trump breaks the law with an illegal donation and then not reporting it on his income tax it was “multiple clerical errors”

Social Butterfly we the Girlz of Guam would love to escort you around the island. You could also stay with some of us and get to know the island up close and personal.
It was another historic month for tourism, as May saw over 114,000 visitor arrivals, making it the third best May in Guam’s tourism history. Guam Visitors Bureau general manager Nate Denight said, “This is really due to the events we had. On May 18 we had FestPac, but we also had Guam Live, Cocos Crossing and the PATA Annual Summit, so May is historically one of the slowest months of the year, but by positioning our signature events in May we can really drive arrivals during that time.”
He said Guam is seeing tremendous growth in Korea visitor arrivals which are up by 45%, as well as both China and the Philippines, which are up over 100%.
Beginning next month GVB will also launch the Guam Summer Beach Festival in an effort to boost arrivals from the struggling Japan visitor market. The festival begins July 16 and will bring local and international entertainment, food, and vendors to Ypao Beach every weekend throughout August 28.
We are the number one fans of Michelle here on the island. It would be a major coup to have one of her regulars stay with us.
Perhaps we can talk you into addressing some of the groups who meet to talk about all things Michelle. Being that you know her personally it will be such a thrill.
