C~'" ' <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Via Facsimile 969-3291 <br /> Dear Curtis: <br /> The resolution 228-98 to Adopt tree National Association of <br /> Counties statement of values seems like an excellent thing to do. <br /> As I read that proposed resolution, the intent seems to be to re- <br /> turn government back to the people, a return to a government <br /> "of the people, by the people and fo!' +:he people" as President <br /> Lincoln envisioned democracy. <br /> The many years of one party r~.,Gle in Hawaii has created an <br /> environment where the government i~ sir~nted to special interests, <br /> including abdication of control to Unions, all of which is con- <br /> trary to good democratic government principles. <br /> The Declaration of Independence• e,lso has some very cogent <br /> applicable language the one-party :,o~'::rnnent has either forgotten <br /> or has ignored. In particular it in part "Governments are <br /> instituted among men deriving their ;urt powers from the consent <br /> of the Governed, that whenever any farm of Government becomes de- <br /> structive of these ends, it is the rs;ht of the people to alter, <br /> or to abolish it and to institute nee, };overnment <br /> I urge unanimous Council appr~~.i~' of Resolution 228-98. <br /> ~~rely, <br /> 4 ~ <br /> 7~'.oy Dlushrush <br /> la~¢.
