As we pass the 333 Members milestone toward our goal of 1000 Members, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the global reach of our message and the diverse cultures who have chosen to support and stand with us.
Just a few weeks ago, a few of us Hawai‘ian language students in Honolulu began our cause here in Hawai‘i nei on behalf of those who struggle to preserve the indigenous language of a proud and ancient people who happen to live in the most isolated place on the earth from the homogenizing effects of globalism. We have since discovered that our mission is not the private vision of Hawai‘ians only, but indeed a shared vision by many throughout the world!
After reviewing our membership list, I am pleased to announce that while the majority of us hail from the Island of O‘ahu, our supporters and advocates now represent several Hawai‘ian Islands, including the Islands of Hawai‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i, and Kaua‘i, several United States and provinces of Canada, including California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, and New York, as well as countries as diverse as Sāmoa, Tonga, the Philipines, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, France, Ukraine, Italy, Israel and Greece -- including the Holy Mt. Athos!
Our goal for last Sunday was increase the membership of our cause to 1000 friends so that we may be clearly heard by those seeking public office in Hawai‘i. At our current rate of growth, it appears that it may take a week or two more to get there, but be assured that we have been noticed by Mr. Hanneman and Mr. Abercrombie! For those of you who are voting in Hawai‘i tomorrow, I can recommend Mr. Colin Kippen for OHA at Large; per a phone conversation we had yesterday, I can say that he supports our vision.
After you’ve voted, let’s all give another push to bring in just TWO MORE friends in the next few days so that we can reach our 1000 goal by next Sunday! IF WE KEEP UP OUR EFFORTS, I PROMISE YOU THAT WE WILL CHANGE HAWAI'I FOR THE BETTER BY NEXT ELECTION!
Pupukahi i holomua! E ola mau ka 'olelo Hawai'i!
Nau me ka ‘oia‘i‘o a me ka mahalo,
Malulani Odegaard
