Kaua‘i a ‘Preserve America Community'? What's That?
Where are they writing about? Not Kauai, an island in the archipelago of ko Hawaii Pae Aina. This Kauai is not part of America. We'll preserve our own history...No Thank You America!
Kaua‘i a ‘Preserve America Community’

Published: Thursday, December 25, 2008 1:10 AM HST
The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation yesterday announced the County of Kaua‘i has been designated a Preserve America Community, according to a county press release. Through this prestigious designation, the county becomes eligible for grants and other assistance to its historic preservation and heritage tourism efforts.
The County of Kaua‘i is the third Hawai‘i community, after Honolulu’s Chinatown Historic District and Maui County to receive this special designation.
“We’re proud to receive this designation,” Mayor Bernard Carvalho said in the written statement. “I’d like to thank the previous County Council and former Mayor Kaipo Asing for supporting our application to this program. We’ll be looking for opportunities to utilize these grants for historic and cultural preservation projects.”
ACHP Chairman John L. Nau, III officially welcomed the County of Kaua‘i as a Preserve America Community.
“There are significant economic, educational, and cultural benefits that historic preservation, through efforts such as heritage tourism, provides a community,” Nau said in the release. “Sustainable preservation is not a cost for maintaining the past; it is an investment in the future. Preserve America Communities are to be commended for their dedication to historic preservation and their visions for civic improvement. Congratulations to the County of Kaua‘i on their designation.”
The Preserve America initiative is a White House effort to encourage and support community efforts for the preservation and enjoyment of America’s priceless cultural and natural heritage.
The goals of the initiative, which is administered by the ACHP in partnership with other federal agencies include: a greater shared knowledge about the nation’s past; strengthened regional identities and local pride; increased local participation in preserving the country’s cultural and natural heritage assets; and support for the economic vitality of communities.
Preserve America began as a White House initiative in 2003. First Lady Laura Bush is honorary chair of Preserve America.
More than 600 cities, counties, tribes, and neighborhoods in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have been designated Preserve America Communities.
Preserve America Communities become eligible for technical and financial support for educational and marketing opportunities.
Preserve America grants compliment the bricks and mortar funding of the Save America’s Treasures grant program by helping local communities develop sustainable resource and marketing management strategies, sound business practices for the continued preservation and use of heritage assets, and educational and interpretive efforts.
“The County of Kaua‘i has a long standing historical and culturally significant past that merits such a designation as a Preserve America Community,” Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, who supported the designation process, said in the statement. “The designation will offer a mechanism to recognize important federal heritage sites on Kaua‘i, thereby promoting an opportunity for interaction between the federal government and the public at the community level.”

The county of Kauai usually have their heads up their asses when it comes to preserving the community.
It's always vocal citizens trying to save the rest of the island because these dummies don't know how to act unless you threaten their little puppet strings with a blow torch. Dance, puppet, dance!
Inouye makes me sick to my stomach. They are going to use that money for lots of "educational" and primarily "marketing opportunities." Let's market this island to this highest bidder already. Who wants to buy it? Going for 1 billion dollars. Do I hear 5 billion? 5 billion! Oh, 10 billion at the back of the room. Going once, going twice, sold to the gentleman in red tie!

a "Reserve America Community" for WHO? Sen. Inouye supported the Bombing of Kahoolawe for many, many years. It was Rep. Patsy Young who got President Bush to Stopped the Bombing of Kahoolawe. As it is said in Kaulana Na Pua O Hawaii, No Thank You, America, Go Home........................... FREE HAWAII

How about preserve our kupuna's graves and quit building million dollar homes on land you don't own. Knowingly buying stolen property is bad enough. Building on someone's family grave is just saying "kick my ass please".
So let me get this straight. They wish to "preserve america" in countries they invade? I'd like to see this Advisory Council on Historic Preservation designate Baghdad, Iraq as a 'Preserve America Community'. usa go home.
Ku'e all the way,
Keliiaumoana

It's more propaganda to cover the truth. To create an American complexion on a foreign country until it looks like the U.S. America that they feel people will believe that it really is part of America; just sitting on a big lake that belongs to them. Inouye is a fart-twart with no moral sense at all. His sheeple keep voting him back into office ad nauseum.
I can imagine how that money will be spent for technical and financial support for educational and marketing opportunities. Like Disneyland's Fantasyland; Hollywood version of the Tuttles of Tahiti and Ma and Pa Kettle goes to Hawai'i; etc. Like everything else about the U.S.A., it's fake!

Under the Preserve America program Federal Monies will be giving to those who support the Superferry to go to Kauai. Federal Monies to keep the people of Kauai in line of what the Federal government wants for Kauai. Mayor Carvalho shuld be voted Out of Office. Kauai belongs to the people of Kauai. Not to America alone to the Federal government as their Private Property for their greed for wealth and power. Lady Bush needs to Clean Up her Bush...............

You know what else pisses me off?! That stupid sign in Mililani that says "All american City". more garbage! Seeing shit like that makes me sick! I hate seeing american flags all over the place too.

OK, let's do something about it. Measure the sign: height, width, thickness, take a picture of it. Post it on this site. Come to the `Iolani Palace in Honolulu on January 17th and you'll get from a kanaka a different sign of the same size with the message:
Mililani
Another Hawaiian town occupied by the U.S.A.
Then you organize the replacement in a way that nobody gets into trouble.
Aloha

It's a big heavy concrete sign. I don't think I could move it without bringing unwanted attention to myself.
Got some dynamite or C4?

Please forgive me Keli`i`aumoana, I just learnt that I had to check "My comments" each time to see if anyone had responded. I promise I will check it on a daily basis. Don't worry about the weight and position of the sign. Just give me the dimensions. No need for dynamite or explosives, it will get you in trouble. There is a better way and the sign never be the same, and no harm to you. Put the dimensions in your reply and you will get the instructions in the mail or in person shortly thereafter.

When slogans don't work, they try to entice you with money. Federal grants and so on. They presume that the Hawaiian soul is also for sale. It is our task to stress by using every possible means (radio, community television, newspapers, flyers, stickers, graffiti, displays, etc. that Kaua`i is not America, neither geographically, nor politically. We don't want American culture (is there such?) on Kaua`i or anywhere else i kō Hawai‘i pae ‘āina.

Pono's son, Kealaula, hung a Hawaiian flag on his jalousied window which is the back of the apartment which faces an empty lot and the Pearl Highland shopping center. The association told us, he would have to take it down because there were some complaints made. From who? Don't know. The opposite end of our complex, someone put up an American flag on her door, a large one and no one complainded, so, we did. eventually, she took it down. Pono wanted to put a Hawaiian flag on our door to counter hers. I told him NO; why agitate the situation. So I made a creative wreath with three Hawaiian flags and the top flag placed upside-down in distress. I added Ribbons and twigs; all done up creatively as a door decoration tastefully made. It's been up for two years now and there hasn't been a complaint. LOL... So, there's more than one way to skin the cat since door wreaths are acceptable within our complex. When we draw the front room drapes; people can look into our living room where there are a few flags and a large one on display among other artifacts and crafts. I just love it! My apartment faces the entrance to the property. I still get the last word. ROTFLMAO!
