Supporting the Akaka bill in the Pacific Northwest
On Martin Luther King Day there is an annual parade/march down the street where I live in Seattle, Washington. This year, I decided to participate in a special way by holding up a sign on my porch for all to see: It had the Hawaiian flag in the center and underneath: "Sovereignty and self-determination for Hawai'i nei/ The /kkaka bill in 20 1 1 ." I received great response from members in the parade, some of them who know me personally and my involvement with Hawai'i. . . .
I hope to do this again next year. (Unless, of course, the bill passes before then.) Beverly Menelheim former Hawai'i resident
