This testimony from Mr. Keoni Agard, along with the Apology Resolution,
WILL be what gets us our Kingdom nation back. As so many proud Americans
like to carry a pocketbook version of the American Declaration of
Independence and Constitution, maybe as Hawaiian Nationals fighting for the
restoration of our Kingdom, and until our Kingdom is restored, maybe we should
start carrying the Apology resolution And Mr. Agard's testimony with us.
And as a quick sidenote, no matter how terrible we feel the so-called
"Bayonet" Constitution was, it was the last Constitution of the Kingdom. I
believe when our Kingdom is restored, it will be short-lived because it is
obsolete. I have no doubt the very first order of business for our restored
Kingdom is a Constitutional Convention to ratify a replacement of the 1887
Constitution.
I just know that though I was born American, with every passing day it gets
easier and easier to be JUST Hawaiian. True Americans right the wrongs and
not righting the wrongs, knowing the wrongs are actually there, means you are
complicit in perpetuating the wrongs. When I first started on my journey into
the Independence movement almost two years ago now, I was a United States
Marine, a successor of the wrong. I was lucky that I only had a few more
months left, so I could be free from the prison of that life, a prison where my
very exsistence relied on perpetuating the wrong. I was rightly disgusted
with the wrong, so I sought to do what was right. I had to walk a fine line since
if the Marines got a whiff of what I was doing, I wouldn't have been able to do
what I did from the very beginning. I was lucky to find someone strong with the
Aloha Spirit willing to take me on as his Hanai, given the hewa that surounded me,
BUT that didn't have a hold of my mind. Pomaikaiokalani Kinney is my Kupuna,
and without him, I feel my experience in the Restoration of our Kingdom
wouldn't be where it is today. It gets better and better every day for our Nation!
So in closing, my Fellow Hawaiian Nationals, I wish to say Long Live the
Kingdom of Her Majesty Queen Liliuokalani. She sowed the seeds of the Kingdom's
Restoration. It is up to us who love Hawaii Nei to restore it. I certainly wish not to
disappoint My Queen.
Aloha nui loa,
Scott A. Kekapukainohea Coleman
