AM Hearing Feb. 19, 2014
Aloha Council members:
Our organization, Malu 'Aina is in strong support of Home Rule Resolution 272 . We need to
stand up to the agro-chemical corporate profiteers and to those in County and State
government who are in the pockets of these GMO criminal enterprises that want to cut away
our county voice to protect our own health and safety. I suppose I should not be
surprised at how low some people will go to line their own pockets at the expense of
future generations. The world is in terrible shape with unprecedented toxic pollution,
climate change, etc. because the precautionary principle has not been followed. The
precautionary principle states that when you do not know the full consequences of an
action, error on the side of caution.
For the GMO supporters and promoters I have a proposal: Put your mouth where your money
is. Rep. Richard Onishi, Rep Clifton Tsuji, Richard Ha, Eric Weinnert, Senator Malama
Solomon, Councilman Dennis Fresh Onishi, Greggor Illigan, J. Yoshimoto, etc. step forward.
Demonstrate your corporate loyalty with patriotic vigor. Volunteer yourself and your
family members to Monsanto to be genetically engineered. Why just support GMO Monsanto
round up ready crops, GMO ringspot resistant papaya, etc. Volunteer to have these and
other genetically modified organisms --round up resistant genes fired directly into your
own DNA.
And put a new label on yourself. Instead of "Fresh" Onishi, change your name to "Round up
Ready" Onishi and go down to the county yard at least once a week and get sprayed with
round up so we the citizens can do a
health study of you, not us. But if you really want to show your
commitment as a Genetically Modified Organism, take the experiment to the next level.
Brush your teeth with Round Up, wash you clothes with it. Shower in it, put it on your
breakfast cereal and rice. Show the voters what you are really made of. For the first
pro-GMO politician to step forward to become round up ready genetically engineered, I will
present you with an "M&M --Monsanto & me" T-shirt with your photo proudly displayed. "
Mahalo.
