From: Clarence Ching, PO Box 6916, Kamuela, HI 96743 Email: kahiwal@cs.com 1. I object that these hearings are being held in Washington, DC - a great distance from the bulk of native Hawaiian people - the principle peoples who are supposedly whose issues are the subject matter of the proposed legislation. 2. I object that S.310 has been designed, drafted, being heard, and is being totally acted upon in Washington DC. The proposed legislation is sooo far removed from the people that it supposedly will affect - that it is immoral and dishonest to carry out these hearings. 3. I object that no Workshops have been held in Hawaii or anywhere else - so that the people - the native Hawaiians - would be assisted in understanding what this proposed legislation is all about. 4. I object that the Senatorial sponsors of this bill have not had the honesty and openness to educate those who are to be affected by this bill. 5. I object that there have been no press releases, editorials of any kind in any media - that would explain what the bill is all about and how it would affect the subject peoples. 6. The United States of America, by any of its divisions, is in violation of its "supreme" law (Constitution and Treaties) by attempting to provide a process by which the non-suspecting peoples involved in that legislation are encouraged to modify their existing government (a separate nation/state than the United States - being the Kingdom of Hawaii) - that the United States actually "recognizes" by supporting such modification. In other words - by this proposed legislation - the United States is interfering in the internal affairs of a different and separate nation/state. 7. Hawaii is NOT part of the United States of America. While the United States has historically shammed the Annexation of Hawaii - nothing meeting the minimal requirements of international law pertaining to annexation has ever taken place. For background - Hawaii declared itself to be constitutional monarchy in 1840 - First Constitution. In 1843, Hawaii was recognized as a full-fledged member of the Family of Nations (by England, France and the United States). Hawaii declared itself to be a "neutral" nation in 1850 - and therefore could not be conquered by war. Therefore - the only legal process for annexation of Hawaii by anyone would have to be by Treaty of Annexation and a majority plebiscite vote of the people. There has been NO Treaty of Annexation regarding Hawaii NOR a plebiscite approving of such "ficticious" Treaty. While the United States attempted to "annex" Hawaii by a Resolution - a domestic instrument that is in noncompliance with the "supreme" law of the land - such "fiction" does not pass the test of annexation as set forth by accepted international law. Therefore - this attempted legislation is WITHOUT necessary jurisdiction in international law. 8. Hawaii is "Occupied" by the United States - just as Iraq is today. 9. An occupying nation must comply with the laws of the "occupied" nation-state. And any attempt to creat legislation in opposition to the laws of the "occupied" nation is illegal. 10. This proposed legislation is non-compliant with the "supreme" laws (the Constitution) and treaties (for instance - treaties with the Kingdom of Hawaii that the United States has violated) - of the United States. 11. This proposed legislation violates the "supreme" (Constitution and Treaties) law of the (United States) land. 12. This proposed legislation should be placed delicately in the round file (trash can). Thank you for this opportunity to express my sincere and correct by the standards of international law regarding this "sham" legislation. It is decidedly unfortunate that such a "fictitious" attempt as this - to attempt to "correct" the mistakes of the United States of the past - to even see the light of day in the United States Senate. /s/ Clarence Ching DATED: May 2, 2007 at Paauilo, Hawaii.
