Anti-American Non-Citizen Hawaii Delegate to Democratic National Convention
By Kenneth R. Conklin, 7/23/2004 8:33:52 AM

Below is an email I sent to the Hawaii Democratic Party. One of the Hawaii delegates who will be attending the national convention of the Democratic Party (pledged to Dennis Kucinich) is a Hawaiian sovereignty independence activist who claims the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893, the annexation of Hawaii in 1898, and the statehood plebiscite of 1959 were all illegal. Therefore, he claims, he is NOT a citizen of the United States but remains a subject of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He claims the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii remain in force as the rightful laws of Hawaii, and that the State of Hawaii is an illegal puppet regime of the United States, which has engaged in a belligerant continuing military occupation of Hawaii for 111 years.

Unfortunately his attitude toward the United States is shared by a substantial number of Hawaiian sovereignty activists seeking independence. Even the activists supporting the Akaka bill believe in their hearts that this theory of history is correct, although they have resigned themselves to the fact that America will not "let go" of Hawaii and therefore they should support the Akaka bill to get whatever "reparations" they can from the United States through the vehicle of a phony Indian tribe. For an analysis of the convergence of viewpoints of the independence activists and the Akaka bill supporters, see: http://tinyurl.com/3mjh3 and for an extensive compilation of pro-independence (anti-American) articles, see: http://tinyurl.com/3cshb

Non-U.S. Citizen is Hawaii Delegate to National Convention

Aloha Hawaii Democrats,

It has come to my attention that at least one of the official Hawaii delegates to the upcoming national convention of the Democratic Party loudly proclaims that he is not a citizen of the United States.

I believe the credentials committee should investigate this matter and ask this delegate either to publicly state that he is in fact a United States citizen, or to resign as a delegate to the convention.

The delegate's name is Isaac Harp, and he is pledged to Dennis Kucinich.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
