Aloha mai kakou,
Kupu‘āina Live!
Last night we did our fifth live-streaming webcast. Our viewers may have noticed that the last several webcasts, we've had a delayed start. We haven't quite nailed down yet what the issue is, but now we're leaning towards pre-recording those webcasts by about an hour and then playing them "live" over ustream and mogulus. We don't like having to start the webcasts late, even if it is only by a few minutes, because that's a good way to start losing viewers.
We got an e-mail from Keahi on the big island who let us know that she experienced a brief pause where there was no sound or video. My parents e-mailed me personally and said they experienced a five minute period of no sound or actual video. We'll continue to work on it.
Kū I Ka Pono T-SHIRTS!
Since Saturday's rally, we've been getting e-mails from people asking about t-shirts.
The best thing to do, is probably to go to https://paifoundation.ejoinme.org/MyPages/ProtectHawaiianRights/tabid/123495/Default.aspx
Kupu‘āina wasn't selling the shirts from our website, but we did provide a link that connected people to a site that was selling the shirts. You can also call Kaho'onei Panoke at 224-8068.
POSTCARDS TO POLITICIANS
Mahalo nui to all those who signed our postcards. We're continuing to sort through the post cards we received. We still haven't finished counting, but in my conservative estimate, I believe we have well over 1,000 signed postcards. We will start to mail these out soon and we're going to continue to get more signed. If you didn't know already, the purpose of the postcards is to convey a message to the politicians at the capitol building. That message basically is, that "as your constituents, we want you to protect the "ceded" lands by supporting and passing laws that protect the ceded lands and that may also re-affirm the Hawai'i Supreme Court's landmark January 31, 2008 ruling.
For any of you out there who would like to help out with this effort, please let us know by e-mailing us at kupuaina@gmail.com

Have you thought about setting up action alert-style emails to the legislators via your website as well? That is another easy way for people to reach them, and you do not have to deal with the expense of stamps. Unless maybe you thought that written postcards are more effective than emails, which is sometimes true, but both methods have proven effective in other cases.
ReplyDeleteAloha Glen,
ReplyDeleteWe've been encouraging people on our e-mail list and on our website to contact their legislators. It's impossible to know if people are doing that. Our decision to use postcards made it easier for us to both monitor and ensure that there is communications occurring between the legislators and constituents.
