Blog Has Foreign Visitors - And Call For Action

Guess what?  Our blog is read not only by Hawaii based individuals, but also by foreign visitors, as follows:

United  States  (Hawaii) 1,067 Russia 4 Taiwan 3 Malaysia 2 Germany 1 France 1 Netherlands 1

Social concerns are universal, as are the problems associated with big money trying to either steal common property, or as a minimum pollute it for profit.  We are experiencing, all over the world, people organizing to take back common resources, such as land, water from rivers and wells, forests, etc., etc.

Our struggle is not unique, similar played out in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where despite major public outcry against waste incineration (Gasification), the politicians went ahead with this harmful project anyway.

Some of us like to think that our fight is over; I say think again.  We do not know the kind of cards they hold close to their chests.  The controversial site near Ainakea, we are told, unofficially, is off the table, for now .  But I say, let us not repeat history!  The good folks in Vancouver worked hard, I am sure, and lost; we must fight even harder.

This Canadian situation brings back memories of the beginning of WW II, every country that had signed a peace agreement with Hitler was in short order occupied by Hitler's armies. I still remember the news cast showing British Prime Minister  Neville Chamberlain stepping off a plane, and waving a piece of paper (his peace agreement with Hitler), and we all know what happened to England.

Currently we are walking petitions from door to door in Ainakea, but we also need the same effort in your area, like Hawi and other areas outside of Ainakea.  Our web-site has the petition posted, so it can be printed and used by anyone.  Follow this link: http://against.homestead.com/Petition.html

It is important that the person walking the petition from door to door be a local born on the island, known and respected by the community.  If you fit this wish-list, please step up to the challenge, your community needs you.

Completed petitions can be mailed to:
FJM, PO Box 995 Kapaau, HI 96755

Let us not fall asleep at the switch; time waits for none.  I think it was Reagan who said, "trust but verify".  Since we have no way of verifying their actions, we must be prepared, and dig trenches (our petitions).
