Here is the letter in full: Letter to NaturalNews readers from the Hawaii GMO Justice CoalitionAloha Mike and the Natural News Team members,We formed the Hawaii GMO Justice Coalition to bring together the many groups on the islands and the mainland seeking justice against the GMO companies on Hawaii. For the past 25 years Hawaii has been the field trial lab of 95% of GMO crops, totaling over 5,000 field trials. After GMO seeds come out of the lab, the first place they are tested is Hawaii. About 15,000 acres of land is growing GMO crops on the Islands today that no one will ever eat. Hawaii is the only place to have stopped the deregulation of a GMO crop. A moratorium on the planting of GMO Taro took place, because Hawaii farmers and citizens would not stand for it. On February 21, 2012 (at 12:30 pm) we are organizing a rally at the state capital to push for the passage of two laws, one is labeling of GMO Foods, the other is disclosure of field trial sites to allow people and farmers to decide if they want to live near a field trial site. Our main partner, who has led the movement against Monsanto over the years, is the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org) and their Millions Against Monsanto Campaign. The OCA has kindly paid for the insurance and filed the state permit. Alexis, the OCA Political Director is managing this project, if you have any questions, you can contact her. We have 10 other organizations that are partners from non profits, small organic food companies or farmers. We are using each partners logo on a flier and asking that they promote the event how they feel comfortable, through facebook or their email list. Some of our partners include the Hawaii Farmers Union (they have 300 small farmers on the islands), Labelgmos.org, Braggs, Poamoho Farms and we have contacted Sierra Club Hawaii, Hawaii organic farmers association and numerous others. Currently we have four confirmed speakers and a couple other very prominent speakers that have to check their schedule. The confirmed speakers include Dr. Patricia Bragg the pioneer of healthy living, one of the board members from the Hawaii Farmers Union and other farmers. Paul Achitoff who is the Managing Partner at Earthjustice (http://earthjustice.org), based in Honolulu, that has led the Monsanto litigation for years is checking his schedule and is very supportive of our rally. Numerous food companies are also supporting, so far these include Sunfood and Bright Earth Foods, we are also speaking with a few other small food companies. We are only speaking with independent food companies. We would appreciate your support on driving awareness to this essential issue: http://honoluluweekly.com/cover/2012/01/boss-gmo/ www.facebook.com/pages/Hawaii-GMO-Justice-Coalition/169823606459500 Aloha, Kevin hawaiigmojustice@yahoo.com Take a stand against GMO crimes against humanity!NaturalNews strongly urges all citizens of Hawaii to join in this massive protest. Take a stand against GMO injustice. Say "NO" to corporate-corrupted agricultural imperialism. Take back your islands against the criminal elite!And someone, please shoot some video of the rally, and upload to TV.naturalnews.com so we can share it with others. We are working very, very hard to spread the word on all these urgent GMO rallies and events. Victory is at hand on this issue. We must press forward now more than ever, and drive GMOs out of Hawaii and North America!

KAPU - KEEP OUT
NO MONSANTO ALLOWED
"kapu" sign, it means KEEP OUT, or NO TRESSPASSING
OPPOSITIONS TO MONSANTO ACTIVITIES SHOULD ALSO HOLD KAPU SIGNS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapu
Kapu refers to the ancient Hawaiian code of conduct of laws and regulations. The kapu system was universal in lifestyle, gender roles, politics, religion, etc. An offense that was kapu was often a corporal offense, but also often denoted a threat to spiritual power, or theft of mana. Kapus were strictly enforced. Breaking one, even unintentionally, often meant immediate death,[1] Koʻo kapu. The concept is related to taboo and the tapu or tabu found in other Polynesian cultures. The Hawaiian word kapu is usually translated to English as "forbidden", though it also carries the means of "sacred", "consecrated", or "holy".
Contents
[hide][edit] Kapu
As these examples might suggest, the sense of the term in Polynesia carries connotations of sacredness as much as forbidden-ness. Probably the best way to translate kapu into English is as meaning "marked off" or ritually restricted. The opposite of kapu is "noa" meaning "common" or "free".
[edit] Kapuhili
Most famous are the Kapuhili restrictions placed upon contact with chiefs (kings), but these also apply to all people of known spiritual power. Kapu Kū mamao means prohibited from a place of the chief, while Kapu noho was to assemble before the chief. It was kapu entering a chief's personal area to come in contact with his hair or fingernail clippings, to look directly at him and to be in sight of him with a head higher than his. Wearing red and yellow feathers (a sign of royalty) was kapu, unless you were of the highest rank. Places that are kapu are often symbolized by Pahu Kapu, two crossed staffs, each with a white ball atop.
[edit] ʻAi Kapu
The ʻAi kapu was the kapu system governing contact between men and women. In particular, men and women could not eat meals together. Furthermore, certain foods such as pork (the body form of god Lono) , most types (67 of the 70 varieties) of bananas (body form of the god Kanaloa), and coconuts (body form of god Ku) were considered kapu to women. In fact, women could not even make coconut rope. Taro (body form of god Kane) was also kapu for women to eat. Some large fish were also kapu for women to eat. Isabella Abbott, a leading ethnobotanist of Hawaii theorizes that because of the limited "noa" (free) diet for Hawaiian women, seaweeds were relied upon more heavily for Hawaiians than other pacific islands. [2]
The kapu system was used in Hawaii until 1819, when King Kamehameha II, acting with his mother Keopuolani and his father's queen Ka'ahumanu, abolished it by the symbolic act of sharing a meal of forbidden foods with the women of his court.
[edit] Aloha Aina
"Kapu" restrictions were also used to regulate Hawaiian fishing in order to maintain the long term viability of ocean life in the 1700 and 1800s. Certain fishes and/or designated areas were forbidden (or kapu) at the times when overfishing could damage the environment. This is similar to the modern regulation of monitoring and regulating fishing and hunting through licensing but was well before the "modern" era and showed great insight into sustainable living.[citation needed] Also the Kapu ʻōhiʻa kō chant was needed before harvesting an ʻŌhiʻa tree.
[edit] Modern usage
The ambiguities in the Polynesian concept (from the English point of view) are reflected in the different senses of the word in different national Englishes: In modern usage in Hawaii, "KAPU" is often substituted for the phrase "No Trespassing" on private property signage. In the movie Lilo and Stitch, Lilo has a sign on her door that says "Kapu" for privacy. Although kapu can transmit the meaning "stay out", kapu still means much more to most residents of Hawai‘i. By contrast, in New Zealand, the comparable word "tapu" is almost always used to mean "sacred".
In 2006, Her Interactive released a computer game based on the Nancy Drew series of books, titled The Creature of Kapu Cave.[3]
The rebooted TV show Hawaii Five-0 featured a civic pride group known as the Kapu, composed of local surfers.
