Coming Together to Avoid Coming Apart By Barb Lindsay |

One Nation United is working with the Heritage Foundation, the Center for Equal Opportunity, Americans for Tax Reform, and other concerned organizations on a national campaign to raise public awareness about the egregious Akaka Bill (S.310/H.R.505), now ready for a vote in both the House and Senate. The Akaka Bill would create a race-based "tribal" government in Hawaii. Twenty percent of Hawaii's population, along with 400,000 other citizens nationwide, would belong to our nation's newest and largest Indian '”tribe.”. Never before in American history has Congress carved up a state along racial lines to create a government to benefit just one "elite" group of people. This unconstitutional legislation would put the Bill of Rights of every U.S. citizen on the table as bargaining chips. If the Akaka Bill becomes law, it would be the first step in the breakup of the United States. The premise is that Hawaii needs two governments: One in which everyone can vote,that would become smaller and weaker; The other in which only Native Hawaiians could vote, growing ever more powerful since transfers of lands and waters, governmental authority, as well as civil and criminal jurisdiction are unlimited in scope under the terms of this anti-American measure. Remember that there are living descendants of indigenous people now residing in every state. They will surely take notice and demand their own self-governing "tribal" governments,too. ONU members and supporters are urged to contact your U.S. congressional representatives and senators, asking them to vote "NO" on S.310/H.R.505. Write also to President Bush,thanking him for strongly opposing this bill last June and urging him to please veto this legislation if it passes Congress. Also be sure to view a brief video by the Heritage Foundation explaining what passage of the "Native Hawaiian Reorganization Act of 2007" would mean to America's future: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF7vu81djM0.
