HERKES: Well, somebody's liable to find something for it to do and that's the
<br />concern.
<br />• IRVINE: Yes.
<br />RAY: Any more questions for David? Thank you very much for coming in
<br />on this short notice. Virginia, do you have anything to add after that discussion?
<br />GOLDSTEIN: No. I think the only other clarification, I think, it's something that
<br />Chris just brought up, and that is, I guess, the way we had looked at it, the Commission
<br />itself would remain. The plan was going to have its sunset, and that's not exactly what
<br />Gerald Takase is saying, so I think if you just look into it, that'll be okay, however.
<br />RAY:
<br />Vicente.
<br />Okay. All right, thank you very much for coming in. Dwight
<br />VICENTE: Good evening. My name is Dwight Vicente. As usual, it's under
<br />protest because of the documents dating back to the 1887 Constitution, called the
<br />Bayonet Constitution, the Proclamation of Provisional Government, the Republic
<br />Constitution of 1894, the Joint Resolution and called Treaty of Annexation of 1897,
<br />1900 Organic Act, the State Admission Act, or the Admission Act, they call it, of 1959
<br />where the Colony of Hawaii entered the Union. So, I would say that this so-called
<br />Commission doesn't have any authority to write any law, nor does the State. I can see,
<br />• looking over this, that by Commission, they're trying to usurp power to do things. Oh,
<br />there's one thing I notice here. It's the Article V, Section 5-1.2, Qualification. 'Any
<br />citizen of the United States of America who has been duly qualified as an elector of the
<br />County for at least one year'. Well, most of the jury duty, all these things are based on
<br />U.S. citizenship, but they come in conflict with the Public Law 103-150, where it says
<br />that `those of Hawaiian descent are not U.S. citizens', so I have a big problem with that.
<br />don't know what Americans are doing running the show here, but I think they're in the
<br />wrong country. There's only 13 United States. They haven't gained any more legally.
<br />Under Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1, 'new states may be admitted into the Union' and
<br />you've got to be recognized as a state; according to the definition in the Declaration of
<br />Independence. You have to be able to wage war, conclude peace, sign treaties, and
<br />do all the. things that nation states does. Here's another Commission that usurps
<br />power, that comes into conflict with the U.S. Constitution. It's Article VII, Chapter 2,
<br />Police Department. The Police Commission is actually created by 52(d) in the HRS.
<br />Being that the police force is, in fact, the military force, it's dangerous. They were
<br />opposed to that when King George did it in the colonies, and that's why they
<br />condemned that in the Declaration of Independence. And if you look at the U.S.
<br />Constitution, all military powers rest with Congress under Article I, Section 8, Clauses
<br />11-18.
<br />RAY: Dwight, I think we've got all this on the record. I believe this is
<br />pretty much the same argument you've already made, which has been duly recorded
<br />before this body.
