Mahalo for the info....I did not know that about Udall....didn't do any research on any of these guys. I e-mailed each to voice my opposition as well as the Indian Affairs committee...so I thought maybe others might want the addresses. E kala mai for not doing my homework.
My knowledge of Tim Johnson from living in South Dakota, he IS an ally of Tribes, but he probably will go along with the bill. The word is not getting out about Maoli opposition views, in Indian Country....The media sucks -- all the channels don't cover both sides..so it sounds like all Kanaka Maoli is for the bill. So Indians want to support Maoli, but the Nationalist view is never covered.
Is there anything like a mass protest in the works--soon? On each island perhaps. on the Queen;s birthday, September 2nd. Someone posted one coming in January 2010. Mass petition like the anti-annexation ones the kupuna did.....done at the protest....Any protest on Maui?

what about Tom Udall, is he helpful? or foe? He has lots of Spanish land grants with a 15th century Religious practice. Kaohi
