What has been tried and where can we go from here? For the second part of “Guam’s continuing quest for self-determination,” the operative word is “continuing.” Here, I present the continuing moves and counter moves by a range of proponents of self-determination and describe their efforts to advance to decolonization after the 1995 Congressional stall. The fire that once drove the proponents of self-determination has died down in recent years. This is due to a combination of internal and external factors, including but not limited to: government bureaucracy; U.S. Congressional lack of will; differing federal government priorities; threat of unconstitutionality of a CHamoru only vote; filing of court cases and untimely rulings; lack of funding for public education campaign on status options; procedural use and application of international or domestic laws; and disagreement on whether to seek decolonization through the United Nations or change Guam’s political status through U.S. Congress. Years of inactivity has plagued the progression of the Commission on Decolonization because of these factors, but a lack of funding to pursue its purpose – to facilitate education and set the date for the plebiscite – has arguably been the prime culprit.

The Democratic Party of Guam seeks to address complaints made by Guam voters who contend that they were disenfranchised during the voting process in violation of Guam law. I also urge a review of whether any federal voting rights laws were systematically violated during the electoral process on Guam. On April 12,2012, the Dernocratic Party of Guam formally requested that I work with the relevant federal officials to address the allegations of ballot tally inconsistencies and to address other specific concerns that are outlined in Cuam Democratic Party Resolution No. 03-20l2.The resolution states that registered voters were improperly purged from the election registry. Further, the Party raises concems that the security of the ballots may have been compromised.

Voters elected the island’s first female Governor, first openly gay Lieutenant Arlene Perez Bordallo Governor, and, for the first time in the island’s history, women will Treasurer outnumber men in the Guam Legislature.
