Vol VI No. 642 Part 1b

Sherri Kane to Report Corruption In Hawaii

least in Mexico we know it's run by drugs and thugs. Here it's worst because it's run by thugs and drugs but covert! The state stole billions for the railway system they may never build. They robbed the native Hawaiians of their land. The elected state court judges are paid off. The politicians are bribed. They have several buildings with condos in Oahu going up for $5 million a piece (for a space in a building) by the Alexander & Baldwin mafia. The level of greed is frickin unbelievable!

SE!!
Fortunately, they are on the same agenda, so we will all be there already. Right?
This one, in part, requires "the department of public safety to establish a temporary sheriff patrol program for the enforcement of laws and rules prohibiting trespassing, camping, or being present after closing hours on state real property."
Now, not only is this targeting the houseless they stupidly kicked off the streets, but it targets US. I dunno about anybody else, but if I do not "camp" in the forest from time to time for spiritual healing purposes I lose my mind. And ANY cultural activity is subject to harassment and busting by this new Sheriff team. SCREW THAT!!!
Get your testimony in RIGHT NOW, here: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx…
KILL THIS!!!

UPDATE: HB1142 is dead! Way to go! But a few more bills still shaking out today that may need your help so stay tuned! Original post: #ActionAlert IT'S BAAAAACK! NOT ON OUR WATCH - HEARING TOMORROW: HB1142 is a constitutional violation of Hawaiian rights to access land for cultural, traditional and customary practices and could criminalize you for going on a state road which belongs to the public. This seems to be targeting our ability to access PUBLIC LAND and is a serious attempt to mess with Hawaiian rights so we need you to email your opposition to HB1142 now because being Hawaiian is not a crime! It also appears to criminalize homelessness, like we need more of that (tt you sit/lie ban passers violating the law of the splintered paddle.)

EMAIL: TREtestimony@capitol.hawaii.gov, sens@capitol.hawaii.gov

We must stop the Senate from passing HB1142 ASAP! The testimony sent after 1:15PM Tuesday will be considered "late" but the sens email will go to the entire Senate immediately so they can stop with this nonsense as a whole. If you can please also head down to the Capitol tomorrow at 1:15PM room 225 to oppose in person! Mahalo to original meme poster Healani Sonoda-Pale! #killthebill #notonourwatch #alohaaina

SAMPLE OPPOSITION TESTIMONY COMPILED FROM HEALANI SONODA-PALE'S TALKING POINTS POSTED IN PROTEST NA'I AUPUNI:

Aloha Senators,

Please OPPOSE HB1142 which adds the offense of criminal trespass onto State Department of Transportation lands to the penal code which is punishable by up to 30 DAYS IN JAIL.

HB1142 is unconstitutional and violates Hawaiian rights to access and gather on their land for traditional, customary and subsistence purposes recognized in the Hawaii State Constitution Article XII Section 7 and in place since the time of the Māhele in 1848 and the Kuleana Act of 1850. The Hawaiian people have the rights to over 1.8 million acres of the former Crown and government lands of the Kingdom of Hawaii which were illegally transferred to the US and as a condition of Statehood. The right to access lands was reconfirmed by the court in the Kalipi vs. Hawaiian Trust (1982) case. The cultural and customary access rights of the Hawaiian people were further expanded in the courts in the Paty vs. Pele Defense Fund (1992) and in the Public Access and Shoreline vs. Hawaii County Planning Commission (1995) court decisions.

This bill criminalizes Hawaiian rights to access public lands for traditional, customary, and subsistence purposes and provides no accommodations and protections for Hawaiians and initially assumes guilt putting the burden of legal protection of rights upon the Hawaiian people. This coupled with the fact that the Hawaiian people as a group are socio-economically challenged would give undue hardship and stress to the people of the ‘āina.

I urge you to strongly oppose HB1142 and similar legislation which criminalizes the rights of Hawaiians.

Ian Lind Did you know that you won your appeal to the Supreme Court? They overturned your disorderly conduct conviction from the 2012 May Day protest! I'm writing a column about the decision, which will be in Civil Beat tomorrow (hopefully).
