Just a few constructive question no offense intended;
Are any of the Pa'ahao subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom?
Similar to Mr. David Keanu Sai in the "Sai v Obama" federal case filed in the District of Columbia Mr. Sai has filed as a Hawaiian subject illegally and unlawfully convicted by State of Hawaii within the Hawaiian Kingdom, which I might add is at least for the Hawaiian Kingdom a high profile case docket as 10cv00899;
Well my question is, are we denying a real opportunity to address the detention, imprisonment and deportation of our poe kanaka at the very least from being herd and presented in the Sai v Obama case to support Mr. Sai by showing the court that these are not isolated incident and many Hawaiian subject are suffering the same injuries as Dr. Sai
Have you proposed this idea to Mr. Sai?
If not mistaken Mr. Sai did mention that his claim is addressing the very sentiments described above.
Is there a mechanism for someone to gather a statistical count of how many Hawaiian subjects are currently held in US custody and can they be contacted?
I am conserned about perpetuating a tradition unknown to the Hawaiian Kingdom by exercising a new practice of Makahiki that includes the unlawful restraints against our poe kanaka Hawaii by a foreign invader (USA) instead of exercising any and all rights available to them as a Hawaiian subject;
Mahalo for the opportunity to share mana'o
