JUDICIAL WATCH OPPOSES  OBAMA EXECUTIVE ACTION 

TO CREATE HAWAIIAN TRIBE

Grassroot Group Warns Hawai`i Plan Is Racially Discriminatory & Unconstitutional

Judicial Watch today announced its opposition to an effort by the Obama administration to recognize a new race-based “tribe” of Native Hawaiians.  

The government watchdog details how the Obama Interior Department’s proposed regulation would be contrary to laws against racial discrimination and would be an unconstitutional end-run around Congress, which has repeatedly rejected legislation granting tribal status to Native Hawaiians.

Last month, Judicial Watch persuaded the US Supreme Court to issue an injunction to stop the counting of ballots in a race-based election that sought to seat delegates to a planned constitutional convention, which would then prepare the “governance documents” for a separate Native Hawaiian entity that the Obama administration could grant “government-to-government” recognition.  

Judicial Watch attorneys argued that its clients would be denied the right to vote either because of their race or their political views, in direct violation of the US Constitution and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  

The Supreme Court issued the injunction despite the Obama administration’s legal support for the Hawaiian election, which would have been limited to those with at least “one drop of blood” of Native Hawaiian ancestry.

Judicial Watch, citing last month’s extraordinary Supreme Court intervention, warned that “the process described in the Department’s regulations is racially discriminatory and would violate the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment rights of Hawaiian citizens.”  

The proposed regulation would provide for governing documents created and ratified by the Native Hawaiian community, and expressly forbids the inclusion of votes cast by “persons who were not Native Hawaiians.”  

Indeed, the ancestry requirement set forth in the proposed regulations is virtually identical to ancestry requirements that have twice been enjoined by the Supreme Court in the context of elections—most recently, just a few weeks ago.  

Judicial Watch urged the Obama Interior Department to stand down:

We urge you and the administration not to insert yourselves into a political movement that would deprive citizens of the right to vote—and ultimately divide them—on the basis of race. The Department’s recognition of the results of such an election would not only condone, but institutionalize, racial discrimination. It would not only be unlawful, it would be unconscionable for the Department of the Interior to use this election—or any process that similarly denies citizens the right to vote because of their lack of a particular bloodline—to advance an administrative agenda.

The Obama administration’s plan also subverts the will of Congress, as federal recognition of tribes is granted only through “a process set forth in congressional statute, not by unilateral executive action … Without proper statutory authorization by Congress, a regulatory scheme promulgated by an executive agency to grant tribal status to Native Hawaiians would violate fundamental separation-of-powers principles.”

In fact, Congress repeatedly rejected attempts by Hawaii’s former Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI) to pass legislation (the Akaka Bill) to grant tribal status to Native Hawaiians:

Despite [the proposed regulations’] many references to a “special political and trust relationship” between the United States and Native Hawaiians, the fact remains that the federal government has never recognized Native Hawaiians as a sovereign entity like other Indian tribes.  If it had, there would have been no need for the Akaka Bill.  The Department’s claim that Congress has “already” recognized Native Hawaiians as a tribe defies both fact and reason.  If that is the case, one must wonder: what exactly was the point of the Akaka Bill?  And why did members of Congress spend political energy for more than a decade trying to pass it?  If Congress has “already exercised [its] plenary power to recognize Native Hawaiians,” as the Department contends, then why did Congress decline to pass the Akaka Bill, not once, but repeatedly?  The Department’s proposal is based on a fiction and ignores the obvious: Native Hawaiians have not been granted federal tribal status because Congress does not support the effort to do so.  The Department’s proposed rule is a transparent attempt to implement the failed Akaka Bill through executive action.  Without statutory authorization, it would be unlawful to promulgate this regulation.

Judicial Watch warns that the Obama administration’s plan to recognize a tribe in Hawai`i “would condone the division of Hawaiian citizens based on their race, and set a ‘dangerous precedent’ for further race-based divisions by other groups in other states.”

“The Obama administration’s latest attempted bureaucratic action to create a new tribe of Native Hawaiians is racist, unconstitutionally steals power from Congress, and could tear the country apart,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  

“Of course, one of the insuperable obstacles to ‘recognizing’ a Native Hawaiian entity is that Hawai`i had a truly multicultural and modern society before it ever became a United States territory or state.  

"The Obama administration’s latest executive action would illegally help a radical secessionist movement in Hawai`i that is engaged a dangerous game of racial division.”

CONTEMPT OF US SUPREME COURT MOTION FILED AGAINST NA`I AUPUNI CONVENTION

APPEAL FILED TO STOP PHONY NA`I AUPUNI ELECTION

Judicial Watch and the Grassroot Institute filed an appeal yesterday from the Order of Judge Michael Seabright denying their motion to halt a Na`i Aupuni race-based election to establish a Hawaiian tribe in violation of the US Constitution. 

On Friday, Judge Seabright announced his ruling against the Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction. 

Though Judge Seabright has not yet issued his written opinion, the fact that the election process is ongoing persuaded the Plaintiffs of the importance of an immediate appeal.

“We feel confident that the appellate courts will stop a racially-divisive state-sponsored election which tramples on constitutional rights,” said former Hawai`i Attorney General Michael A. Lilly who, along with Bob Popper and other attorneys at Judicial Watch, represents the Plaintiffs.

"We believe that the ruling against our preliminary injunction was the wrong decision," said Keli'i Akina, Ph.D., President of the Grassroot Institute and one of the Plaintiffs in the case. 

"The law is clear on the issues in this case, and we are certain that an appeal to a higher court will demonstrate that this election is harmful to Native Hawaiians and our constitutional principles."

MOTION FILED TO STOP PHONY NA`I AUPUNI CONVENTION & ELECTIONS

The plaintiffs in the suit against the State of Hawai`i and its agencies to stop the racially exclusive election and constitutional convention to establish a native Hawaiians-only nation (Keli’i Akina, et al v. The State of Hawai`i, et al) have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction.  

The motion asks the court to put the election on hold until after a decision is reached. 

The group of four Native Hawaiians and two non-Native Hawaiians who brought forth the suit against the election are asking that all the groups involved—including OHA, Na`i Aupuni, and the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission—be prevented from engaging in voter registration or calling and holding elections while the case is ongoing.
 
Keli`i Akina, Ph.D., President of the Grassroot Institute and one of the Native Hawaiian plaintiffs says, “It is imperative to stop draining public funds on a racially discriminatory process that the majority of native Hawaiians have chosen not to endorse, especially while the needs of native Hawaiians for housing, jobs, education, and health go underfunded....”
 
...Dr. Akina adds, “Many Native Hawaiians have come forward to state their objections to being put on the roll without their permissions. Others, like I, object to the Roll’s effort to exclude those who do not endorse a specific set of beliefs about Hawaiian sovereignty. To pretend that this election represents and honest effort to embody the voice of native Hawaiians is disingenuous.”

COURT ORDERS RELEASE OF NATIVE HAWAIIAN ROLL

In a victory for transparent government, a state court has ordered the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission to release its enrollment list. 

The suit was filed by Judicial Watch with the assistance of the Grassroot Institute of Hawai`i after an open records request for the Roll was repeatedly denied by the Commission. 

In a decision that emphasized the importance of open government, the Court rejected the Commission's reasons for denying the request, requiring the Commission to produce the list and pay attorney's fees in the case.

Said former Hawai`i Attorney General, Michael A. Lilly, who represented Judicial Watch in the case, "Today, in a victory for open government, Judicial Watch won a case seeking a roll of over 125,000 people allegedly registered with the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission."

Keli`i Akina, President of the Grassroot Institute stated, "With the release of the Roll, it will now be possible to answer concerns over the tens of thousands of names that have been placed on the list without the express permission of individuals. 

"The fact stands that the vast majority of Hawaiians have chosen not to support the efforts of OHA and the Native Hawaiian Roll to create a sovereign government. 

"Their voices can now be heard. And, hopefully, OHA will stop wasting public money on its unconstitutional push for sovereignty and, instead, spend it on housing, education, employment, and health services for those in need."

YOUR KOKUA IS NEEDED NOW

Please forward this to all Hawaiians and our supporters. 

We wish to bring your attention to two recent developments.

FIRST, Judicial Watch and the Grassroot Institute have recently filed a lawsuit against the Native Hawaiian roll for lack of transparency.

Both organizations have repeatedly requested a copy of the roll and have been denied each time.

The reason why Judicial Watch and the Grassroot Institute want a copy of the list is the same reason the roll commissioners are refusing to give it to them - they would then be able to examine the list to verify the vast majority of names on the roll were fraudulently transferred - being used without permission of those listed, despite former Hawai`i governor and roll commissioner John Waiheʻeʻs recent statement that 99% of all Kau Inoa registrants requested their names be transferred over to Kana`iolowalu.

Moreover Judicial Watch and the Grassroot Institute are also seeking financial accountability of the roll - something those in charge of the roll have steadfastly refused to disclose.

The lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch and the Grassroot Institute deserves everyoneʻs support because it will make the list public for all to see as well as force disclosure of exactly how many millions of Hawaiian beneficiary dollars have been squandered.

We urge you to contact the Native Hawaiian roll today at (808) 973-0099 and demand they publicly release the roll as well as issue a full financial disclosure.

SECOND - The Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs (AHCC) leadersʻ decision to partner with the Council For Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) and the Sovereign Councils of The Hawaiian Homelands Assembly (SCHHA) to implement “nation-building,” which of course is “code” for US federal recognition.

AHCC leadership joined this partnership without prior consent of Hawaiian Civic Club members to push those leadersʻ pro US federal recognition agenda regardless of costs or legality.

Because of this and after a thorough investigation, the AHCC Policy and Planning Committee has found AHCC leadershipʻs actions  to be a “dereliction of duty in violation of the AHCC’s Constitution and By-laws.”

This should be of grave concern to everyone, Hawaiian Civic Club member or not, because the AHCC Board presents themselves as the voice of all Hawaiians regarding “nation-building.“

We urge everyone to contact AHCC president Annelle Amaral today at acamaral@yahoo.com and AHCC leadership at aloha@aohcc.org and let them know you support the findings of the AHCC Policy and Planning Committee.

Demand the AHCC leadership immediately remove themselves from this “nation-building” partnership.

Tell them you donʻt support their efforts and they donʻt speak for you.

NATIVE HAWAIIAN ROLL SLAPPED WITH LAWSUIT FOR LACK OF TRANSPARENCY 
Roll Commissioners Refuse To Disclose Names On Roll

HONOLULU, HAWAII-- After repeated efforts by the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii and non-profit government watchdog group Judicial Watch to obtain a copy of the Native Hawaiian Roll (Kana'iolowalu), Judicial Watch and former Hawaii Attorney General Michael Lilly are filing suit to compel the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission to release the list to the public. The lack of cooperation and stall tactics employed in the effort to avoid compliance with state transparency laws raise serious concerns about the activities of the Commission as well as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

The Native Hawaiian Roll, established in 2011 by Legislative Act 195 and administered by OHA, aims to create a voter list for an "aha" (constitutional convention). Enrollment in the Native Hawaiian Roll is limited to individuals of Native Hawaiian blood who complete an affidavit affirming "the unrelinquished sovereignty of the Hawaiian people."

According to Keli'i Akina, Ph.D., president of the Grassroot Institute, “After more than two years of enrollment efforts by OHA and the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission, the vast majority of Native Hawaiian people have chosen not to participate and many have serious concerns over the way the Roll has been compiled. There are numerous questions concerning the tens of thousands of names that have been placed on the list without the express permission of individuals, particularly those who provided their names to lists such as Kau Inoa which does not affirm ‘unrelinquished sovereignty.’ Other questions concern the process by which substantial numbers of prisoners have allegedly been added to the list.”

Dr. Akina continues: "The integrity of the process demands transparency so that Hawaiian groups and the public can hold the state agency OHA and the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission accountable. In addition, we are seeking, through a separate request, a full and accurate accounting of the financial transactions of the Roll Commission. Hawaiian beneficiaries and the general public deserve not to have this information withheld from us."

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, “Our litigation is important to uncovering potentially improper activities by a state agency that is classifying Hawaiians by race in a way that violates the U.S. Constitution. This issue is of national importance, as politicians in Hawaii and in Washington DC would put divisive racial politics before the rule of the law.”

Judicial Watch, in cooperation with the Grassroot Institute, first requested a copy of, “the complete enrollment list,” from the Roll Commission on August 8, 2014. On September 4, 2014, they received a response signed by Kanaiolowalu Executive Director Clyde Namuo, denying that request on the grounds that the work of the Commission was ongoing and there was no “complete enrollment list.” In an interesting coincidence, the Roll was also reopened at this time.

Although this was clearly an effort to dodge the request, Judicial Watch issued a revised request that took into account Mr. Namuo’s evasions. In a letter dated September 25, 2014, Namuo again denied the request, citing the ongoing work of the Roll as justification for his refusal to provide either the enrollment list or any documentation related to the decision to reopen it.

As it was clear that the Roll Commission had no intention of making its actions transparent, Judicial Watch appealed to Hawaii’s Office of Information Practices (OIP). The Office of Information Practices agreed that the grounds cited by the Roll for denying the request for the enrollment list was questionable. Believing that this information should be revealed to the public, Judicial Watch initiated Court proceedings to compel the disclosure of the requested information.
