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.

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, , Marjorie Erway c PO Box 2807 Kailua Kona, HI 96745 324-4624 Commr 140. Z /. ' Ref. Ta— Ret. Dote U[l. 1��.
