Dear Madam Senate President Hanabusa and Members of the Senate,

My name is (insert your name here). On opening day of this year's legislative session, you spoke the following words,

"As well, we know we must address the sense of betrayal that many in our Native Hawaiian community feel on the issue of ceded lands, and in particular the case now pending before the United States Supreme Court. We will not turn a deaf ear to these questions, as difficult as they may be. We have heard the call of the people and we must respond."

Please continue to hear the call of the people and respond by passing SB 1085. As difficult as it may be to work towards the resolution of these issues, it is something we must do. I urge you and our individual senators to pass SB 1085.

Mahalo,
