LIHU`E — While an estimated 5,000 demonstrators protested the state of Hawai`i’s stance on so-called ceded lands in Honolulu, roughly 15 assembled at the junction of Kapule Highway and Ahukini Road in Lihu`e in a sign of solidarity Saturday.Katy Rose, a member of Kaua`i Alliance for Peace and Social Justice who helped organize the sympathy rally, said the 116th anniversary of the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy is a “very significant date to keep history in people’s consciousness and brings up the pressing question of Governor Linda Lingle’s appeal to the US Supreme Court.”“Most of us that were out there today were not Hawaiian people, but it’s our responsibility as non-Hawaiians to show that we stand side-by-side with Hawaiians, that we stand for justice for Hawaiian people, and that we don’t want Lingle to successfully divide our communities from each other,” Rose said.
Mahalo Nui no ka poe o Kaua'i Alliance for Peace and Social Justice. For me it's more important to be Hawaiian in Spirit then in blood. You don't have to be Hawaiian to know that the invasion and Act of War on the Indigenous Hawaiian people and the Hawaiian Kingdom on January 16, 1893 by the United States was wrong. Just as the Act of War that is happening to the Indigenous Iraqi people and the Iraqi nation is wrong.
Killing innocent men, women and children is Wrong. Not only the Hawaiian blood in me says that all Act of Wars are wrong, but also the Portuguess, Irish, Scotch and English bloods in me says that it's time to Give Peace A Chance. It's always better to make Love and to be Happy then to Make War.....Look at proof of what Bush has done to the United States and the World with his War games. KAUA'I ALLIANCE for PEACE and SOCIAL JUSTICE NO KA OI. o Pomaikaiokalani .....
