IT'S TIME FOR OHA TO BE DISMANTLED
After reading the June 24 article entitled "OHA now working toward nationhood," it has become clear to me that the OHA must be dismantled.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs was born of the 1978 state Constitutional Convention with a mandate to better the conditions of both Native Hawaiians and the Hawaiian community in general. OHA has gone far beyond its 1978 mandate and is now supporting a process that could lead to secession.
Perhaps it is time for another state constitutional convention to deal with this situation. Are there any politicians left in Hawai'i who will stand up for the U.S. Constitution, for Hawai'i's Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and thus the rights of all of Hawai'i's citizens?

Later today I'll have to write to the editor and write more about conversion here in my Livejournal.
