WARNING! - PROPONENTS OF FEDERAL RECOGNITION WILL BE TRYING TO SNEAK THE BILL THROUGH THE US CONGRESS AGAIN SOON.
HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP IT -
Please copy the following letter, sign your name to it, then fax it to ALL of the US politicians below - today!
Dear Congressmen , Senators, Secretaries and President
This note is to inform you that S344, the Hawaiian reorganization bill, is not widely supported in Hawaii and this is true among both Hawaiians and Americans whose opposition to the bill has now grown to a substantial majority in the Islands.
The only support now left for the bill now in Hawaii is the Hawaii Congressional delegation, the governor of the State of Hawaii, and a Handful of NGOs and State Agencies Administering Federal benefits to Hawaiians who seek to transfer responsibility for their failure to meet federally delegated responsibility back to the federal government.
Both Hawaiians and Americans in Hawaii are frustrated that the bill has now undergone 6 or 7 substantial revisions over the last four years owing to the input of everyone except the Hawaiians the bill is supposedly designed to help.
No hearings or public input has been solicited from Hawaiians since the year 2000 when the bill was roundly rejected by Hawaiians in general contrary to press reports.
With the outcome of the Cobell litigation looming, and current federal budget problems raging, would it be wise to allow the Hawaii congressional delegation and Hawaii's governor to transfer responsibility for Hawaiians claims against the State of Hawaii and others to the Department of the Interior via Federal District courts?
Please carefully read the April 7th amendment to this bill, particularly section 8 , the amendment relieves the State of Hawaii of responsibility for their failure in administering a federally delegated trust obligation under the Statehood act and places responsibility to compensate Hawaiians for he States failure squarely on the backs of Hawaiians and the Federal government.
Thank you for your continued opposition to this bill.
