A strongly worded communication to President Obama.
"Like Indonesia, where you have turned a deaf ear to the plights of the Indigenous Papuans, it is apparent you've turned a deaf ear to the indigenous people – 'Kanaka Maoli' – of Hawai'i that you call home. While living here in Hawai'i, you've seen the struggles of my people and 120 years later that struggle continues for an independent restoration of our Kingdom; A Kingdom stolen by the United States of America.
"So now we have these subordinate agencies of the United States Government openly violating the First Amendment right to practice religion, assemble, and petition for redress of grievances, the Fifth Amendment right to due process, and the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection of the laws.
"I am losing patience with this entire charade by the State officials. I suggest you send someone from your Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department to help State officials with some remedial constitutional training. Your representatives can also serve as observers when the TMT decides to create the next confrontation by announcing the resumption of efforts to construct the telescope."
