SAYING "NO!" TO THE AKAKA BILL
Will They Listen?
August 7, 2009
Dear Representative Abercrombie,
Dear Senator Akaka,
Dear Senator Inouye,
One hundred and sixteen years ago, our kupuna (ancestors) stood up for what was pono (righteous) and they signed the Ku`e Petitions of 1897-1898 protesting the illegal annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States of America.
It is with great respect and honor that we, the undersigned, the descendants of the original signatories and others who are in sympathy with said descendants, continue on the foundation laid by our kupuna and ADD our names to the existing Ku`e Petitions of 1897-1898.
By following in the footsteps of our kupuna, we protest any and all further acts of injustice towards the Hawaiian Islands and its people and we CONTINUE to protest against the illegal annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States of America.
For more information on the original Ku`e Petitions of 1897-1898 please visit them here.
Our ancestors were always against annexation to the US The US knew about it. There is no lawful treaty of annexation/cession. We are not a tribe; we are a nation and proud of it. The US continuously violates the laws of occupation and our declared neutrality.
My ancestors signed the original petitions and I stand with them The US must de-occupy our country, the still existing Kingdom of Hawai`i.
Aloha also means goodbye....Aloha and go home.
Mr. D.M.K. Tane Inciong, II
