WILL HAWAIIANS RIGHT WRONG THROUGH VOTE ON INDEPENDENCE ?
The U.S. Justice Department knows that in 1898 the Congress of the United States made a grave mistake by attempting to annex Hawai`i by joint resolution 51.
They violated their own constitution and laws.
Hawaiians were not allowed to vote for or against annexation.
The U.S. Senate tried two times to pass a treaty of annexation of Hawai`i.
Twice it failed.
If they had allowed the majority of the citizens of the Kingdom of Hawai`i in 1898 to vote, it would have been an overwhelming "no."
The only way the U.S. government can right the wrong it inflicted on Hawaiians is to let those descendants of the citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom decide if they want independent status or be part of the American system.
If Hawaiian Kingdom national descendants are not allowed to vote for the form of governance they prefer then the whole American democratic process is good for nothing.
