Twitter, 255 out of 1200+ postcards and some new videos

If you haven't noticed already, you can keep up with just about every little detail about what we're doing through "Twitter updates" that are viewable on the left side of our blog page or by logging onto Twitter and following us. Yes, you'll learn more details than you probably cared to, but, hey, what the heck. Now that we can make Twitter updates using cell phone text messaging, you can stay up-to-date by the minute or hour on what we're doing.

Today, we mailed out 255 postcards signed by people like you, supporters and people who want the "ceded" lands protected. These 255 postcards were signed by 170 individual people. But we still need more of your help. We're hoping to go into communities like Palolo to gather more signatures for these postcards. If you're willing to help us out, please let us know by e-mailing us at kupuaina@gmail.com. We're also hoping for postcard stamp donations to help defray the costs of postage for our postcards. We've gotten more than 1200 postcards total and we're still trying to get more to let our legislators know that we want them to pass laws that will protect the ceded lands.

I've uploaded two new videos clips and am uploading a much longer one. Mahalo to the folks at ‘Ōiwi TV and Palikū Documentary Films for filming and editing to make the overall video available for us.

The first video is of Attorney General Mark Bennett doing a 15-17 minute presentation for the January 7, 2009 Kupu‘āina "Ceded" Lands Informational Session


This second video is of both the Attorney General Mark Bennett and attorney Bill Meheula responding to questions submitted by the audience at the same 1/07/2009 informational session.
