Now, if the AKAKA BILL was rewritten to include all of these, then the page just turned a chapter to move forward. How difficult is this to put it in. It is easy for AKAKA to say actually say this is what it should read, not what we think it should be! WE were not asked what we wanted. AKAKA BILL dictated what is should be..A'ole to the bill he wrote! NO WAY!!
Even how they call it "the Akaka Bill" to try to imply that it is a Hawaiian bill. Always trying to trick da oiwi and trying to keep da oiwi down. Seriously... if the Feds allowed the people of New Orleans to PERISH and go w/o water and food then chances are they WILL do it to oiwi too so no.. NO THANK YOU!
