HAWAIIAN PATRIOTS & CHARACTER ASSASSINATION ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
For a third week, we’ve been both amazed and gratified at the volume and intensity of positive response and support for the first two new shows of our third season detailing how the Akaka bill went down to defeat in June.
Mahalo to each and everyone one of you for your mana`o (thoughts.)
And what has the Office Of Hawaiian Affairs been doing all this time?
Damage control, their ridiculous “Plan B,” and now a new campaign of character assassination.
It is contemptible that OHA trustees would attempt to link with the radical right the very Hawaiian patriots who, at their own time and expense, went to Capitol Hill to ensure the Akaka bill's defeat.
To claim they are synonymous with US conservative republicans is both factually wrong and morally outrageous.
It once again demonstrates OHA will stop at nothing to spread its campaign of disinformation.
This week we bring you another new segment with Leon Siu.
One of those patriots who traveled to Washington, DC, he reveals the great interest Capitol Hill legislators had when told of just how opposed people back home were to the Akaka bill.
He also describes the shock and dismay US lawmakers displayed when told that Hawaiians had not been consulted at all on the bill, nor had any hearings been held in Hawai`i.
And maybe most importantly, Leon discusses head-on the slander now being directed at him and others for doing what they knew they had to do – help save the Hawaiian Nation.
Once again, we strive to bring you all the details, so you can decide for yourself, here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

"Hawaiian Patriots In Action – A Visit With Leon Siu”
How was the message from Hawai`i’s people regarding the Akaka bill received on Capitol Hill?
Leon Siu, one of a team that went, delivers an answer that may surprise you.
Pointing out the ridiculousness of OHA’s divisive racial arguments in trying to get the bill passed, Leon reveals his team’s message to the Hill was far different - one of Kingdom Nationals being disenfranchised.
Leon also reports that senators were very receptive when reminded that Hawaiians have always been inclusive, not exclusive.
Countering criticism they cooperated with conservatives, Leon explains why those may be the very ones who will be the first to recognize a Free Hawai`i.
Find out what Leon sees as the answer to what life looks like after the Akaka bill and why he believes “aloha” is one of the most powerful words in any language in all the world.
