TWO OF THREE MAJOR US HOUSE CANDIDATES OPPOSE AKAKA BILL
HONOLULU (AP) — Two major candidates vying for Hawai`i's vacant congressional seat want changes to pending federal legislation to establish a governing entity for Native Hawaiians.
Democrat Ed Case said during a debate on PBS Hawai`i Thursday night that the current measure contains no deliberate process to work out the details before it grants recognition to a Native Hawaiian governing entity.
Republican Charles Djou says it should establish talks between Native Hawaiians and state and federal governments before recognition.

HAWAI`I - A CALL FOR SOVEREIGNTY SCREENED IN PASADENA, CA
Los Angeles Examiner - April 6, 2010
No matter how you look at it, the United States took control of a foreign country's government by force.
A group of American businessmen who had established operations there were instrumental in seeking the overthrow of Queen Liliu`okalani and her monarchy.
The Queen appealed to President Cleveland in a letter of protest at the time, and did not resist her house arrest for fear that violence would ensue and her people would pay the ultimate price.
A troop of armed US Marines put ashore and effected the transition of power.
President Cleveland after investigating the situation agreed that the US created an act of war against a peaceful country that had been allied with the US up to that point. He agreed to help restore the Kingdom of Hawai`i.
It has been nearly 120 years since the Queen was removed. What has happened since then is history: Hawai`i was declared a territory of the United States, and then annexed as the 50th State in the Union in 1959.
Candidates for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs board of trustees would face a tougher road to victory under a bill moving through the state Legislature this session.
Senate Bill 2378 would require OHA board candidates in single-seat elections to take part in a run-off election on primary election day and, unless a first-place finisher receives 50 percent of the vote, would have the two top finishers face off on general election day.
Under existing law, OHA candidates need only take part in one winner-take-all election on general election day.
The bill would also affect OHA's at-large elections where there are three seats up for grabs. The top six candidates would advance from the primary day election to the general unless there are only three candidates at the outset.
Supporters of the bill say the current process makes it too easy for incumbents and others with names familiar to the public. The proposed change would level the playing field for lesser-known candidates, they argue....
