Dear Source:
I think the defining point within our historical timeline confirms not only our Culture but a unionized and organized society as a group. This will give security for the natives of our island a sense of valued pride, which will strengthen a source of identity for our people! I believe that is something truly lacking within our culture that affects the status of reparations and development for its communities regarding all three islands. (No one has a sense of true culture and it is not defined throughout our communities on an educational, spiritual and constructive level… No one knows what it means to be a virgin islander anymore; only American which is a minor part of our reconstructive history.) This is something that is long overdue and it is a shame that the leaders that represent the Community and Local Hierarchy have not yet made this Amendment a factual discipline that we can simply adhere to and respect!
We have to abide and acknowledge all other islands and country rules and regulations for their countries, but we still cannot orchestrate the lack of sponsorship for mine or ours! There is a big problem with our superiors! The more time that is wasted on deciding the truths of our V.I. roots the more destruction, poverty, and joblessness will exceed. By then, it will be too late to develop a sense of moral and self pride as a country!!! Get it together officials; the facts are the facts!. Do what is just Thank you, a fellow Virgin Islander 100%.
