[/B]In 2006, Washington and Tokyo agreed to shift thousands of U.S. Marines from Okinawa after complaints that, with half of Japan's population of 47,000 US military personnel, the island was over burdened.
Part of the deal struck by the two nations involved the relocation of forces and a massive military buildup on the island of Guam, without consulting the Guamanian population.
Currently the US military occupies approximately 1/3 of the Guam's landmass.
One of the many issues local Guam residents are concerned about are the measures the military will take to acquire the additional lands they seek to complete their mission.
An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was released last November using vague language making it unclear to private landowners whether or not the military would seek to negotiate with landowners instead of resorting to the use of eminent domain and/or land condemnation.
Our petition calls for the military to reveal to the public their plans to acquire land and to extend the period of time residents have to review and respond to said plan.
