HAWAIIAN PATRIOT SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

Akaka Bill Compromises Hawai`i & US Constitution

"...When one considers the principles of the U.S. Constitution which is the foundation constructed by the founding fathers of the United States of America, the Akaka Bill is unconstitutional as stated correctly by the Civil Rights Commission members.


How can anyone claim to be an American, especially the so-called "Native Hawaiians" supporting the Akaka Bill and pontificate in the same breath their support and defending of the U.S. Constitution?


Simply put, you support the Akaka Bill, you compromise the very principles that defines your national identity.


The issue regarding the Akaka Bill is one of 'nationality,' not ethnicity.

Many who understand this were present at the meeting and were in effect denied the opportunity to explain this to the committee and the public.


The committe needs to hear from those lineal descendants of the Hawaiian Kingdom (1842-1893) and not the po`e haole (foreigners who stole our identity and Nation.)

If not, you are no better than those newly appointed members who oppose the bill for racist reasons instead of the rights of ALL PEOPLE in a civil society."
