Another CNMI Is Possible.


As you all know, things in our beloved CNMI are not as they should be. I don't have to tell you things are bad, because everyone knows things are bad. Things have been bad for so long, that many of us, especially the youth in our community, believe that "it's just the way things are" and that "it's never going to change." Have we really been victims of this corrupt system for so long, that our people honestly believe that there's no way out of it? I have heard many people, both young and old, say something to the effect of "it's useless, just go with it." I refuse to "just go with it." It is NOT useless. Another CNMI is possible. I truly believe that with every fiber of my being.

I will never give up on our islands, no matter how impossible it may seem, or how bleak our future may look. No matter how much of an uphill battle it is, I will keep on fighting for another CNMI. I will not stop until we have achieved our collective goal of bringing forth a new age of success and prosperity for our beloved islands. Our children deserve better than this. We owe it to them to fight for a better future for us all. Things weren't this bad for us when we were growing up, so why should we allow them to be this bad (or worse) for our children as they grow up?

No. We know that this is not the way that things are supposed to be in the CNMI. I know that better days are possible, but do YOU know that? I believe another CNMI is possible, and I want to see how many others out there also believe that. That's why I have decided to launch a new campaign called Another CNMI Is Possible. The purpose is not to make a political statement; it's not to criticize any government officials or agencies.

The purpose of this campaign is to show everyone in the CNMI just how many of us BELIEVE that another CNMI truly IS possible. The purpose of this campaign is to see what other people believe the CNMI could be like. The purpose of this campaign is to cast aside all our differences and come together under one unifying statement: WE BELIEVE ANOTHER CNMI IS POSSIBLE.

We don't represent any family, any political party, or any government agency. We simply represent ourselves, the people of the CNMI who believe that there is hope for the CNMI, and that another CNMI is possible. Are you one of us? Do you believe in your heart that another CNMI is possible? If you do, please join us as we launch this campaign. Head over to http://anothercnmiispossible.tumblr.com/post/19958384756/we-believe-another-cnmi-is-possible for more information.

Spread the word about our campaign on Facebook and Twitter. Upload your picture onto your Facebook and put the link in the description/caption of the picture. Get the word out to as many people as possible, and get them to join us in this campaign as well. Let's show everyone who thinks that this is just the way things are and it's never going to change, that they are WRONG. We have been divided for far too long. It's time to unite, brothers and sisters. Join us.

The main website is http://anothercnmiispossible.tumblr.com/. Check it out, add yourself to the wall, and then spread the word. We hope to see you there soon.

  2. I'm on board... only if we do this the local way. We have been following someone else's law for over three centuries. It's time we start laying down ours!

    1. ...there's a local way of posting a picture of a self-made sign?
