ALERT! - YOUR KOKUA NEEDED NOW TO STOP THE CARLETON CHING CONFIRMATION
Please forward this to all Hawaiians and our supporters.
Your kokua, your help, is desperately and immediately needed to help stop the confirmation of Carleton Ching as head of the Hawai`i Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Sources are reporting the 25-member state Senate now appears deadlocked over the nomination.
Some sources are placing the count at 12 to 12, with one senator's stance unknown and with a few senators likely to flip-flop before this week's expected vote.
One in particular, Sen. Brian Taniguchi (D, Makiki-Tantalus-Manoa) who has formerly stated he was “inclined to oppose” Chingʻs selection is now telling residents he is undecided.
Word is that the senators representing Maui will be critical swing votes.
The vote in the Hawai`i state senate may happen as early as tomorrow, Wednesday, or Thursday.
However, reliable reports state that Hawai`i Governor Ige will not bring the vote to the floor until he is certain he has the votes for confirmation.
If confirmed, Mr. Ching, a commercial developer, will control the future of Hawaiian Kingdom lands.
We hope you understand the gravity of that and therefore what is at stake.
We ask each and every one of you to email and call as many state senators as you can to declare your opposition to Mr. Chingʻs nomination.
You may send one email to the entire senate at - sens@capitol.hawaii.gov.
However below is the list of the entire Hawai`i state senate and we strongly suggest you call and email your senators personally today to say “NO!” to Carleton Chingʻs confirmation.
Mahalo.
