MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
This last Wednesday, we posted a special edition video on Free Hawai`i TV exposing Governor Linda Lingle’s plan to circumvent the courts and wishes of the people to get the Superferry operating again.
We asked all of you to call the Governor’s office as well as Senate President Colleen Hanabusa and House Speaker Calvin Say to let them know you expect them to obey Maui Judge Joseph Cardoza’s ruling that an environmental impact statement must be completed before the Superferry sails again.
And that you did - their phones were jammed with callers delivering this message.
Now, contrast your actions with what Superferry executives did.
A pro Superferry form letter was emailed so many times to Hawai`i politicians they were forced to shut down their computer systems.
As a result, legislative members are now publicly stating Superferry executives are “out of touch” with how to resolve this issue that’s clearly not going away.
So whose voice was genuinely heard – theirs, or yours?
Who responded with a love of land versus love of money?
And who comes with aloha – the people whose home it is, or foreign corporate interests thousands of miles away?
The bottom line is the legislature has heard you loud and clear.
But now is not the time to let up. Make sure everyone you know makes those three phone calls.
And you don’t even have to live in Hawai`i to get involved. You can make a difference in this critical issue no matter where on earth you live.
Watch our Free Hawai`i TV video, “Superferry Alert” on FreeHawaiiTV.com for complete instructions.
Mahalo to everyone for standing up to those who would sell Hawai`i and its people out for personal gain.
We continue our Superferry coverage again this week on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Radio Free Kaua`i – A Visit With Ka`iulani Edens-Huff”
Ka`iulani Edens-Huff, Kanaka Maoli national and local talk-radio hostess is known for more than just talk. She also walks her talk.
With many years of active community involvement on Kaua`i, an issue came along recently that galvanized her even more – the Superferry.
Suddenly the microphone at KKCR radio was used to call the entire island to rise up in active opposition to the Superferry.
It worked – over one thousand residents answered Ka`iulani’s call and turned out at Nawiliwili harbor to stop the Superferry on its maiden trip.
A devoted wife and mother, yet never one to shy from controversy, Ka`iulani’s radio show, Songs of Sovereignty contains not only Hawaiian music, but information about current struggles on Kaua`i and throughout the Hawaiian Nation.
How can one wahine be so brave?
You’ll want to see this one, as we catch Ka`iu outside the radio, down at Nawiliwili Harbor, and inside the Superferry “security zone”. Be prepared for threats of bodily harm, pepper-spray and wall slamming. Join Ka`iulani in action, but you’d better be ready to rumble.

“From The Atlantic To The Pacific – A Visit With Maurice Major”
Maurice “Mo” Major was born and raised very far from Hawai`i - on the Atlantic side of the North American continent in Virginia.
After graduating with a degree in anthropology, Mo and his college sweetheart began their married life in Hawai`i, the most remote location they could travel to without a passport, way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Holding an archaeology permit from the State Historic Preservation Division, Mo specializes in research, stabilization and preservation of ancient Hawaiian sites.
His passion is the stunning beauty of remote and historically significant Nu`alolo Kai valley on the Na Pali coast of Kaua`i and his real gift is making the ancient past of Nu`alolo Kai come alive right before your eyes.
Mo’s been involved with Nu`alolo Kai archaeological work and Na Pali Coast `Ohana since 1996, and is primary author of both the archaeological inventory report and preservation plan for this amazing site.
Even when family obligations required Mo’s return to the family homestead in Virginia, he continued volunteering with Na Pali Coast `Ohana - collaborating by internet on short and long-term strategies, plans and reports.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to go back in time to the days of ancient Hawai`i, don’t miss our incredible visit with Mo as we travel with him into Na Pali Coast Park, a breathtaking wilderness area on the north shore of the island of Kaua`i, along 12 miles of undeveloped shoreline. It’s a trip you’ll never forget.

“Super(Military)Ferry – A Visit With Jeff Satcher”
“No Super (Military) Ferry in Kawaihae.” That’s what Jeff Satcher says.
Jeff knows one of the main reasons they’re pushing the Superferry so hard in Hawai`i – transport of US military vehicles.
Living in Hawai`i for only a few years, he’s already been accepted with aloha by the broad Kawaihae community opposing the Superferry.
Volunteering his time, energy, resources and high-tech skills, Jeff’s practically a one-man communication center for inter-island collaboration between the quickly expanding groups of activists outraged by the state and federal governments’ arrogant disregard for the law and will of the people.
Jeff reminds us “the port facilities at Kawaihae can’t handle the military vehicles, materiel and personnel that will be the Superferrys’ bread and butter cargo. Our roads can't even handle the existing traffic.”
Don’t miss one of our most fascinating interviews yet as Jeff reveals one of the main people who are behind the Superferry – a former US Secretary of the Navy. You’ll see why the US wants to be able to transport military vehicles and equipment to the neighbor islands on a daily basis - but not if Jeff Satcher and his allies can help stop it.
Voices Of Truth interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.
