A bill has passed courtesy of legislators in Hawai'i which seeks to restrict access to information to Tea Party members:

They do not tell you who voted and what they voted for. Shady. I am fortunate that I can compare and contrast the Sunshine State with the so-called Aloha State. What Aloha? No more Aloha for Hawaiians hello LOL

Well ALL Government in the Sunshine Laws in the states are based ON Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law which is Chapter 286 created in 1967. Florida is FAR from perfect but Florida is the FIRST to have a Government in the Sunshine Law and Florida is known for it's VERY liberal access to keep government in the sunshine where the truth is.

Well in Hawai'i where some shady people do very shady things... legislators recently passed SB 2937.

It is called SB 2937 and Governor Lingle is either going to sign it into law... or veto it. Many people whom I know WANT SB 2937 to be passed. *I* want it to be VETOED.

Have they read what it says?

OR are they basing it on what the MEDIA claims and that is to restrict access to Obama's birth certificate which it does NOT say:

Read the first page VERY closely:

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. Chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is
amended by adding a new section to part IV to be appropriately
designated and to read as follows:


"592F-A Abuse of process. (a) An agency may request that
the office of information practices declare that a person is a
vexatious requester.

(b) The office of information practices may declare that a
person is a vexatious requester if it determines that the person
has established a pattern of conduct that amounts to an abuse of
a process set forth under this chapter.

When the person has
been working in concert with another person to make requests,
including making identical requests, both persons' requests may
be considered as part of the person's pattern of conduct.

The
office of information practices shall consider whether a
person's pattern of conduct includes the following factors,
provided that no one factor alone shall be sufficient to find an
abuse of a process set forth under this chapter:

The question is... HOW will it affect Hawaiians and it will.

We have Hawaiians/oiwi who do their research. For example some of my former classmates who shall remain nameless because I no like make them shame with my mana'o :-) but some of them spend COUNTLESS HOURS researching and/or requesting MORE information.

We have people like Amelia Ku'ulei Gora who may not always be accurate but she does point out some KEY truths. She and MANY Hawaiians do their research and dig for information.


WITH THIS BILLS THESE HAWAIIANS WILL BE CALLED "VEXACIOUS REQUESTERS" TOO.


THESE people... and many other Hawaiians will be affected so before some people BOAST about this it is not all that it seems.

It is worse!

If Governor Lingle does NOT veto it they will call Hawaiians/oiwi who research nuisances or as they say "vexatious requesters" too.

So I hope that Governor Lingle vetoes SB 2937 because it will wreak MORE HAVOC on the DAILY lives of Hawaiians ESPECIALLY those who do research and yes I have written to her and asked her to PLEASE VETO IT.

In the past I contacted her asking her to help me rescue an oiwi baby born with ice in his system. I am hoping that she responses favorably to me again asking her to VETO SB 2937 and yes I mentioned that it will adversely affect those Hawaiians who do research.

Despite what the media claims... be careful what you wish for.

Latahs!
