TWO RESOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT - COMMITTEE OF HAWAIIAN NATIONALS UPDATE
The Committee of Hawaiian Nationals is pleased to announce that we were able to get two resolutions (with concurrent resolutions) introduced at the Hawaii State Legislature. Now we have to lobby to get them passed.
The purpose of these resolutions is to get the fake state to respect our nationality and stop discrimination and mistreatment of Hawaiian nationals.
If we can mobilize a fraction of the energy and mana’o that was used to stop the Carleton Ching appointment and other bad stuff from happening, just think what we can do to get good stuff going! These “resos" may seem insignificant, but they will have a huge, game-changing impact!
TWO PAIRS OF RESOLUTIONS
House Resolution 45 (HR 45) is titled: “RECOGNIZING HAWAIIAN NATIONALS AS A POPULATION RESIDING LAWFULLY IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS” Passage of this resolution would be a game-changer. It would have the fake state acknowledge (admit) the lawful status of Hawaiian nationals and it would stop the discriminatory actions currently being committed against Hawaiian nationals by state law enforcement, judiciary, agencies, etc.
HR 45 was introduced by Rep Kaniela Ing and it has been referred to the House Ocean Marine Resources & Hawaiian Affairs (OMH); Judiciary (JUD) and Finance (FIN) committees in that order.

House Concurrent Resolution 85 (HCR 85) is identical and has also been referred to OMH, JUD and FIN.
Start lobbying Kaniela Ing now, to schedule a hearing for both HR 45 and HCR 85. Here are Rep Ing’s coordinates -

Prepare your testimony now in support of HR 45 and HCR 85 so when the hearing is announced you’ll be ready to. Spread the word and let’s get as many people as possible involved.

Senate Resolution 14 (SR 14) and Senate Concurrent Resolution 39 (SCR 39) are identical: REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO ORDER THE EXCLUSIVE DISPLAY OF THE FLAG OF HAWAII OVER STATE BUILDINGS ON JANUARY 17 OF EACH YEAR.

It’s not as strong as we asked for, but it is a start. Main thing is that it reminds the fake state every year of the significance of the date.
The resolutions were introduced by Sen. Maile Shimabukuro and referred to the Senate Government Operations (GVO) committee.
Let’s organize some lobbying behind this!
1. We have to get it heard by the Senate Government Operations Committee
2. To do so, we have to coax the committee chair, Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz to schedule and hold a hearing.
3. That means generating lots of phone calls and emails requesting Sen. Dela Cruz to schedule a hearing for SR 14 and SCR 39. Here are his coordinates -
Senator Donovan Dela Cruz
Hawaii State Capitol Room 202
phone: 808-586-6090fax: 808-586-6091
sendelacruz@capitol.hawaii.gov
Once the hearing date is set, make sure to get lots of in-person and sent-in testimonies submitted, favoring the resolutions.
Again, the object is to have the state and the people of Hawaii honor the significance of the January 17 date every year.
