This piece is about how I think the U.S. democracy is being turned into more of a communist government. The reason why I say this is because of the long distance relationship the CNMI and USA have.
If I am not mistaken, the forefathers of the Declaration of Independence had a vision of independence, democracy, and liberty. I mean they stood up and told King George and his cronies that enough is enough. How could a bunch of colonies be controlled by a tyrannical king a thousand miles away? It behooves me to say this but I think the present U.S. government is oppressing and discriminating like King George and his cronies, or worse yet King Obama and his cronies. I do love the U.S. democracy but not the present individuals who are in it now.
So for me, I would like to call on the present legislators to maybe revisit the Covenant and maybe amend or discard it. I think that a new Covenant should be put together to address the issue above. They should include in bold text the vision of the forefathers and also emphasize the preservation of our unique identity as people of the CNMI islands.
I am for total independence but most would not agree. But on the other hand a workable independence might be an alternative, like maybe form an alliance that the U.S. can count on when needed. I mean, look at our population number.
