With all the eyes on American Samoa after Jason Palmer won the primary, it is a good time to remind people of what the island is according to U.S. law.
American Samoa is not considered a state. It is considered an "unincorporated territory". These territories are subject to some of the Constitution, but not subject to other parts. They pay tax dollars can't vote.
In other words.
American Samoa is a colony. A colony in the same way that the 13 states were when under the control of Britain, subject to taxation without representation.
These territories were seized from their native people. They were not given a choice. They must be given a choice now, between full statehood or full independence. Not this imperialist in-between. Power of the People supports self-determination for U.S. colonies.
