Aloha kakou,
I've been feeling badly about not being able to participate in any of the protests against "Fakehood," and especially about not having organized anything here!
So, instead I hereby pledge fifty consecutive days of taking at least one action a day to get the word out about the Kingdom, in addition to personal spiritual practices to release any ancestral or familiarl connection I may have with the continued occupation of Hawai'i. This may not be much, as there are many, many dedicated people doing something about independence 24/7. However, it is a start as well as a commitment.
Today, the action I took was to put together a few of the press releases about today's protests and create an article for Indymedia.

Auwe, it's Tuesday, Aug. 25th, and I have fallen short (already!) of my intention. The last couple days have been taken up with preparing the children for school, and other catch up tasks. I must think of how to do this -- I guess add on two days where I missed doing something for the cause!
Aloha...
I too am feeling sad that I'm not in Hawaii and not able to participate directly in the protests against "Fakehood," however, I am exercising my committment by forwarding all the information I receive to a dear friend, Coyote, who runs an alternative news network "The Howl" that goes out to so many people here in British Columbia. I have also passed the information on to First Nations here as I have been a contributing member of Lower Columbia All First Nations Council. The word is getting out far and wide.

This is wonderful, P'Emily! It just goes to show there's a lot we can do, even if we're not in Hawai'i! Thanks for letting us know about your work!
Warm aloha!
I salute youu for making a "committed decision" to challenge yourself in making this vow to taking at least one action a day in getting the word out about the Hawaiian Kingdom Nation & Government out in your neck of the woods. Maika'i to you!!!
Aloha mai e Kaleo,
Hey, thanks! But you know, I think we just need to pour every bit of mana we can into this, even if it's just a little each day. It all adds up - like those cartoons where a rolling snowball turns into a giant boulder. Or maybe like the "butterfly effect" you hear about!
Mahalo for all you do!

ALOHA Kaua, e Wahili, It was a Great March. I saw a lot of new people there in the March. So many good things are happening in the movement. Malama pono, o Pomai

Welina mai e Pomai,
I'm so happy to hear this! I think that "the tipping point" will soon be reached and the mana will flow!
Warm aloha,
Amy
