Comments on Hawaii County General Plan proposal

Please remove any mention of possible “Micronuke” plants for the County of Hawaii General Plan.  Building Nuclear power plants and disposal of nuclear waste in Hawaii is prohibited by the State Constitution as amended in 1978 which I was a part of.  The county of Hawaii should be taking action against the US military for its decision to leave Depleted Uranium radiation in place instead of cleaning it up.  Common sense says –Leaving it in place is disposing of it.  Du has been used in spotting rounds for nuclear weapon training at PTA and likely other DU weapons.

I urge the county to press the military to clean up its Depleted Uranium radiation nuclear waste at Pohakuloa in the center of our island.

Mahalo.

Join The Pope’s Call for

Peace!

Ceasefire Now! No More Weapons! No More War!

Negotiate! Negotiate! Negotiate!

In Ukraine! In Gaza! And Around the World!

Pope Francis said what needs to be said and heard in all conflict situations: All sides need to “have the courage to negotiate” an end to war!

     Instead of negotiations for peace, what we have in Ukraine, Gaza, and other conflicts around the world is more and more death and destruction, with the danger of widening wars that include the risk of global nuclear destruction, and the end of human civilization. Right now before the US Congress is a bill for $95 Billion more military weapons to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. On Tuesday, March 12^th the Biden administration announced it was sending $300 million in weapons to Ukraine under an emergency makeshift plan – More weapons, more war, more killing, and destruction..

     It is time for people everywhere, especially US taxpayers, to stand up and say “ No More War, No More Weapons in our names, especially the genocidal campaign in our name and funding by U.S. tax dollars, being carried out in Gaza by Israel. Counties and States are calling for a CEASEFIRE NOW.

Please use this QUICK-CLICK TOOL to tell Hawai’i Legislators to #SUPPORTCEASEFIRE Resos.

Here: http://bit.ly/hiceasefire Also STOP BOMBING POHAKULOA ! End the State lease of land.

The Hawaii County Council will be holding a final vote on a peace and Ceasefire resolution #449-24 on Wed. March 20^th . Call your council members to support the resolution and testify on March 20^th.

See more on the Ceasefire resolution here https://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2024/03/05/council-peace-resolution-amended-to-include-statement-on-gaza/

End the US/Israel Genocide in Gaza! End all US military Aid to Israel! Terminate the strategic partnership between Hawaii and Israel signed in Oct. 2022.

Peace is a Victory for

All!

1 . Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
       4. Oppose all discrimination: anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Russian, anti-LGBTQ, etc. 5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.
