Mahalo for anything you can do!

Sample testimony below

Our organization supports HB2848.  Establishing Pu’uhonua (decentralized wellness centers) on all islands as an alternative to building more prisons, makes good sense.  The Pu’uhonua will be open to all but use the Ho’oponopono traditional Kanaka Maoli process of making right to help heal individuals, families and our communities.  Pu’uhonua will be for the good of all Hawaii’s people and can help provide real hope to save money, reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and create long-term positive personal and social change.
Please support this important effort of Ohana Ho’opakele.
Mahalo.

USA POPULATION BEING PREPARED

FOR AN ATTACK ON IRAN!

The demonizing of Iran has followed the same pattern used in 2003 to promote a war of aggression and regime change in Iraq, and more recently, Libya. Control of the oil rich region and continued U.S. dollar currency domination internationally are main concerns.

Don’t Be Fooled Again!

Don’t Wait For The Bombs To Drop!

Speak Out NOW!

Some points to consider:

1. The U.S. initiated a CIA coup in 1953 to overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran. Following the coup, the Iranian dictator –the Shah of Iran, backed by the U.S., ruled Iran with an iron fist from 1953 until the Iranian revolution in 1979.

2. The U.S. Supported Saddam Hussein in Iraq’s war against Iran to crush the Iranian revolution.

3. The U.S. and Israel have long been pushing for another regime change in Iran. The demonizing of Iran has followed the same pattern used in 2003 to promote a war of aggression and regime change in Iraq, and more recently, Libya. Control of the oil rich region and continued U.S. dollar currency domination internationally are main concerns. Don’t be fooled again!
