OPPOSE Resolution 22-14 and any Motion to Appeal the Legal Ruling which Invalidated
Ordinance 13-121
Dear Council member,
I urge you to OPPOSE Resolution 22-14 and any motion to APPEAL U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren's decision to
invalidate Hawaii County Ordinance 13-121.
The day before Thanksgiving, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren invalidated Ordinance 13-121 In reaching his decision,
Judge Kurren found that the County's Ordinance: "is preempted by Hawaii state law", "is, in part, expressly preempted
by the federal Plant Protection Act", and "therefore ... is invalid.
I ask you to please SUPPORT all Farmers and OPPOSE any motion to APPEAL the ruling to invalidate Ordinance 13-121.
By opposing the appeal, you will help to ensure that Hawai'i County's agricultural lands will continue to be cultivated by
local farmers growing food and flowers for local consumption, and preserving the integrity of Hawaii s communities and
resources for our future generations.
Mahalo, c�

SUPPORT Reso 22-14
Aloha Councilmembers!
I urge you to support this reso
to protect Hawaii Island from interference by outside companies — and this one is
especially bad, since there is so much money behind it. This reso supports our appeal of Judge Kurren's ruling which
overturned Ordinance 13-121.
The appeal is critical in getting this case heard by a higher court.
Besides protecting Hawaii Island from any new propagation of genetically engineered seed or open air testing, this
appeal may protect our County's ability to speak for ourselves. And this appeal is critical in getting this case heard by a
higher court, which will ultimately be very important.
This could easily be the most important action you will take during the first few days of your new term.
Mahalo for serving and mahalo for your careful consideration. -
Sincerely, ,
