Akaka Talka. As you might guess this one is focused on the proposed Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005 (S147 H309)
otherwise referred to as the Akaka Bill. It is a part of "Sunshine on the Akaka Bill" on the upper left of this homepage.

Projected State Spending Growth

Introduction and Rules
This is the Weblog of Grassroot Institute of Hawaii (GRIH). As such, it is the central source for quick references to thoughts, activities and events which might interest those individuals who are passionate about personal authority, responsibility and genuine accountability. We call that freedom or liberty. Our friends at Reason Foundation say "Free Minds and Free Markets" and we love them for that.
We are not going to start with a lot of rules because we don't have any experience that would dictate such. But we do foster a civil society and civil discourse. So, here's a rule to start with: Keep it civil and avoid personal attacks.
And, to help you to understand where we are coming from here is our political philosophy:
"We are only slightly interested in the political left or right. When it comes to public policy we look to see where the policy sends power. If it empowers the individual, we think it looks upward toward human freedom to succeed or fail. If it decreases individual authority, responsibility and accountability and hands power to the state we think it sends us downward toward statism. Thus, we are up or down evaluators rather than left or right. Needless to say, we do not like tyranny whether it is from the minority or majority."
