Subject: aloha. - a submission to you re: Resolution 235-25 Draft 2 "A Commitment to Peace."
In thinking about the past, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki foremost in my mind, I would like to suggest that
Hawai'i declare peace and rid the islands of war, of preparations for war, of memorials to war, of bases
where people prepare for war, for the equipment and materiel of war -just abandon war altogether -stop
the businesses that profit from war, end the industries that make ammunition for war -no more banks
that lend financial support for war, no more body bags and no more additions to the almost endless rows
of dead.
Mahalo nui - bob g
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against
injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of
energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression
and resistance."
Robert F. Kennedy
