You might want to send this over to Wiki-research-l as well ( http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l). There's been a few projects to interview Wikipedia contributors in the past and people may have ideas and questions. In addition, I and no doubt others from that list would be interested in your methodology, why contributors must be a U.S. resident, what you're trying to find out, and all those other pesky research questions :)
cheers, phoebe
