Take just 5 minutes a day to help protect 'ceded' landsCLICK HERE TO LEARN MOREThe Kupu'āina Coalition has placed Sen. Brian Taniguchi's photo on its home page, urging people to "both call and e-mail this guy!" to ask him to hear SB 1085 by Feb. 27. Coalition spokesman Derek Kauanoe said, "If we don't see any more movement from his side, then it's going to die." But Kauanoe also said he believes that both bills will advance, judging from his conversations with Senate President Colleen Hanabusa and about 10 other senators. In the meantime, Kauanoe asks the public to make their voices heard at the Legislature, as they did at the Jan. 17 Kū I ka pono March and Rally for ceded lands, when an estimated 5,000 people marched through Waikīkī. "There's a lot that people can do in just five minutes a day," Kauanoe said, and it doesn't even require a trip to the Capitol. "They can call a lawmaker, email a lawmaker, they can let other people know what can be done," he said, referring people to the web site stopsellingcededlands.com to find out more. |
