What if we came together to form a resolution? What if we all compiled our thoughts and had one drawn? Do you think that we should try to exhaust every avenue and take every step, or do you think it is helpless and that we should give up and eventually cease to exist, as only another extinct race that was not strong enough to make it. Do we want that?
Ok, enough rambling questions. Here is a basis, or the beginning of what our resolution currently looks like. Now for the time being, you votes on every topic can be cast via email. As the process becomes more sophisticated, an actual voting process will begin. This process does not include people or a certain government. It will only concern the voice of our Kanaka Maoli and the voice will only deal with our concerns. Did you follow that?
Basically, what was just stated above, was that we are only dealing with issues and solutions thereof. That is the only way that any acting government agency will effectively operate anyway, so no matter how we choose to divide the government issues, we can do so at a later date, with educated knowledge.
Remember that knowledge is the key to power and success. We must keep in mind that in any given process, only factual information is needed. We know if something is not right, but we need to be able to separate our documented voice to say it loud and clearly.
Any and all feedback is welcome, so please remember to keep your factual emails separate from your opinionated emails, so that we can also keep it separated. There will come a time for fact, and there will come a time for opinion. Both are equally important.
Whereas, these rights include other important internationally recognized human rights such as the right to vote, the right to be represented in government, the right to have equal protection under the law, and the right to hold office, and
Recognizing that all Hawaiian people whose ancestors were citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom are heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom and have inherited, and therefore, inherent full citizenship rights by birth, and
Whereas, any process that would obstruct the rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom from exercising these rights is unlawful under international law and only serves to prolong the injustice experienced by the rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and
Whereas, there is international precedence for immediate and automatic restoration of citizenship rights upon the reinstatement of a government after a prolonged occupation and forced dissolution of government, namely the processes undertaken by the nation of Estonia which automatically restoredcitizenship rights to the heirs of that nation even when they were born in foreign lands and made subject in those lands to foreign powers,
Therefore, it shall be resolved, that all rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom are today immediately and automatically restored their full citizenship rights under the Lawful Hawaiian Government to the full degree to which the government has the power to restore these rights, and
It shall be resolved, that no steps or measures shall be taken which inhibit the exercise of these full rights, which iniclude, but are not limited to, the right to vote, the right to be represented in government, the right to have equal protection under the law, and the right to hold office, and
It shall be resolved, that the government shall in good faith, in restoring these rights, make every effort to minimize its requirements of proof that a person is a rightful heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom, requiring no more than birth certificates certifying their aboriginal Hawaiian heritage or docemnts which prove they are direct descendants of a person who was lawfully naturalized under the Hawaiian Kingdom, and
It shall be resolved, that the government will exercise due diligence in carrying out any effort necessary to assist the rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom in procuring these aforementioned documents, and
It shall be resolved, that if at any point in time after full citizenship rights have been restored to a person, they are proven, through an act of due process, to be the direct descendant of a Hawaiian citizen who committed treason, their full citizenship rights shall be rescinded and they will have to apply for citizenship in accordance with current naturalization processes, and finally,
It shall be resolved, that this resolution shall supersede all prior legislation placed into law which would subjugate the lawful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom to any inferior citizenship status, including that of denizenship.
Optional ending:
{...further reserving the authority to the legislature to accrue for the rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, by means of legislation and future negotiations with foreign powers, any rights beyond full citizenship which would act to further empower the heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, including, but not limited to, the right to dual citizenship.}

2012 Resolution of the Hawaiian Kingdom:
To Fully Restore Inherent Rights to Heirs & Citizenship
of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Whereas, the Hawaiian Kingdom was unlawfully overthrown in 1893 and its citizens denied their citizenship rights, and
Whereas, the descendants of these lawful citizens who have the same citizenship rights, have been denied these rights while under subjugation by foreign power against their own will either by force or by coercive means, and
Whereas, these unlawful acts have been carried out by the United States government and the unlawful interim governments of Hawaii, and
Whereas, no Hawaiian citizen or heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom can be held accountable for these unlawful acts unless they can be shown to be directly responsible for these acts through an act of treason, and
Whereas, the international community recognizes and heavily emphasizes in human rights instruments the importance that all human beings have the right to their nationality and citizenship, and
Whereas, a process was reinstated in order to correct the wrongs of the past and to restore full citizenship rights to the heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and
Whereas, these rights include other important internationally recognized human rights such as the right to vote, the right to be represented in government, the right to have equal protection under the law, and the right to hold office, and
Recognizing that all Hawaiian people whose ancestors were citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom are heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom and have inherited, and therefore, inherent full citizenship rights by birth, and
Whereas, any process that would obstruct the rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom from exercising these rights is unlawful under international law and only serves to prolong the injustice experienced by the rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and
Whereas, there is international precedence for immediate and automatic restoration of citizenship rights upon the reinstatement of a government after a prolonged occupation and forced dissolution of government, namely the processes undertaken by the nation of Estonia which automatically restoredcitizenship rights to the heirs of that nation even when they were born in foreign lands and made subject in those lands to foreign powers,
Therefore, it shall be resolved, that all rightful heirs of the Hawaiian Kingdom are today immediately and automatically restored their full citizenship rights under the Lawful Hawaiian Government to the full degree to which the government has the power to restore these rights, and
It shall be resolved, that no steps or measures shall be taken which inhibit the exercise of these full rights, which iniclude, but are not limited to, the right to vote, the right to be represented in government, the right to have equal protection under the law, and the right to hold office, and
It shall be resolved, that the government shall in good faith, in restoring these rights, make every effort to minimize its requirements of proof that a person is a rightful heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom, requiring no more than birth certificates certifying their aboriginal Hawaiian heritage or docemnts which prove they are direct descendants of a person who was lawfully naturalized under the Hawaiian Kingdom, and
