This letter was just released by Ali`i Mana`o Nui Lanny Sinkin (Chief Advisor to the King), and posted at the Kingdom of Hawai'i blog.
"Looking out across the landscape of the sovereignty movement, one simple truth has become clear to me – the final phase of restoration has begun. The public awareness that Hawai'i was never legally annexed, the exposure of the OHA/Roll Commission/Danner shenanigans, and the outpouring of support for the Kingdom at the Department of Interior hearings are all symptoms of the great change that is about to come. There is only one missing piece – unification of Kingdom supporters. That vision of completion led me to prepare the following message.
"The Kingdom needs to unite behind its King. We can look back over the past six or seven years and see a handful of people that offered to be King or Queen. Almost all of them have then gone on to discredit themselves or withdrawn from the field. Today, there is only one monarch on the field – Ali'i Nui Mōi Edmund Keli'i Silva, Jr... The time has come for those who put themselves forward as leaders to acknowledge that the Kingdom needs a King and that [he] stands out as the one who best fulfills that function.
"The Kingdom also needs the restoration campaign to be a coordinated effort pursuing a coherent policy. Future communications with the occupying power or any other foreign government should come through the King... Otherwise, we give the impression that there is no real leadership, only isolated groups addressing isolated topics with limited application.
"...You can pledge your support by sending me an email that simply says "Yes." Lanny.Sinkin@KingdomofHawaii.info.
"We will provide the public with a complete report on who among those who profess to support restoration of the Kingdom have joined with the King for a united effort and on those who do not... So what about it Mililani Trask, Dexter Kaiama, Keanu Sai, Bumpy Kanahele, Professor Williamson Chang, Henry Noa, and all you others who call for restoration/deoccupation?"
