Your Help Needed Now To Defeat This BillPrivate dealing continues between the Office Of Hawaiian Affairs and the Hawai`i legislature on the ceded lands bill.Despite overwhelming constituent outcry against it and the senate killing the bill, representative Kirk Caldwell and OHA are busy manufacturing support and calling for a conference to discuss the bill, HB1201.Here are conference members -Senator Kokubun -senkokubun@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-6760Senator Baker -senbaker@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-6070Senator English -senenglish@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 587-7225Senator Hee -senhee@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-7330Senator Slom -senslom@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-8420Senator Hanabusa -senhanabusa@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-7793Senator Tokuda -sentokuda@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 587-7215Representative Ito -repito@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-8470Representative Ward -repward@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-6420Representative Say -repsay@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-6100Representative Karamatsu -repkaramatsu@Capitol.hawaii.gov (808) 586-8490Contact those listed above and let them know any measure pertaining to the Ceded Land Settlement is unacceptable and should not be passed.You, your family, and friends can make a critical difference.Neighbor islands residents call the following toll free -Hawai`i - 974-4000Kaua`i - 274-3141Maui - 984-2400Molokai / Lana`i - (800) 468-4644Here's a sample message to send them -Aloha mai,I am contacting you to help kill HB 1201.I believe that the disputed matters pertaining to the Ceded Lands can be resolved in a fair, just, and honest manner.But the legislation OHA is suggesting is not legitimate.Once the Settlement Agreement is nullified, I support 1) a full and complete inventory of the Ceded Lands, 2) an audit of all gross revenues generated by the Ceded Lands, 3) beneficiary consultation with all stakeholders, and 4) an OHA audit.Please vote "NO" on HB1201.Mahalo,Your NameCity, State
