Please email or call government officials and candidates and urge action.  Mahalo. Jim

Dear government officials and candidates,

Please help citizen voices be heard!  Please urge that public speaking be allowed on the following actions, by contacting military officials beforehand, and/or by attending relevant events in person:

1.  MARINE AIRCRAFT SQUADRONS bringing  about 1000 active duty personnel,1000 dependents,
40 aircraft, and extensive construction.
2.  NAVY SONAR, EXPLOSIVES, GUNNERY, AND SHIP-SINKING near Hawai’i and California.
3. ARMY DEPLETED URANIUM (DU) Human Health Risk Assessment.

No public speaking will apparently be allowed at these events, despite the tremendous amount of land, ocean, and airspace put to military use in Hawai’i, the severity of impacts to our environment and to native Hawaiian culture, and the plans for continued military expansion. It is important that the community  be given an opportunity to speak and hear the concerns expressed by the community.  To deny that public hearing is to disempower the community.

Details follow. Mahalo for your consideration.
