Here's A Sample Letter To Send -
Dear Representatives of the United States government:
I respectuflly submit the following testimony for your consideration and request that it be read into the record and recorded as part of the testimony regarding S147, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005.
S147 and numerous other facsimiles to recognize Native Hawaiians as "Native Americans" have been placed on US congressional agendas several years in a row now.
The people affected by this bill (Hawai'i Nationals regardless of race) have not been consulted either by the Hawai'i congressioanl delegation, or by anyone else for that matter.
Hawaiians are overwhelmingly opposed to this bill.
I ask that hearings be held in Hawai'i regarding S147 so that you may learn our true feelings about this bill.
Let us discuss U.S. Public Law 103-150 of 1993 and negotiate true reconciliation for the unlawful acts against Hawai'i that were supported by the US.
Federal recognition and any attempt to classify Hawaiians as "Native Americans" is NOT the answer.
Sincerely,
Your Name
