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.

On the Native Hawaiian Bill
Ed Meese and Todd Gaziano have an excellent analysis of what is wrong with the Akaka Bill. One particularly astute observation stands out:
Second, no government organized under the United States Constitution may create another government that is exempted from part of the Constitution. Yet, this is what S. 147 purports to do by allowing the alleged new government to grant preferences and exempt itself from portions of the Bill of Rights as it sees fit.
Exempting the Native Hawaiian people from the Bill of Rights as the governing body sees fit is not progress for the Hawaiian people. How can having fewer rights be an improvement for the lot of the Native Hawaiian people? The answer is, it can't.
