The people of Guam continue to suffer as a colony of the United States. Although they are considered U.S. citizens, and have fought and died in unparalleled numbers in American wars, Guam's people cannot vote for U.S. president or have a voting representative in U.S. Congress.

All eyes were on the island of Guam during their rare opportunity in this historical first. For the first time, Guam played an integral part in the democratic primaries. Though the people of Guam can not yet vote for president, their votes in the Guam Caucus was a decisive factor in determining the Democratic presidential nominee for 2008.
