Aloha Ron Hochuli.  Indeed, Keli'i Akina's statement is a beautiful invitation for all people to come work together.  I understand your wish that your participation as a voter in OHA contests can be seen as a response to an invitation from a Hawaiian.  However, you and every voter should have always had the right to vote for OHA trustees.  The Supreme Court 16 years ago specifically ruled by vote of 7-2 that all registered voters in Hawaii, regardless of race, are entitled by the Constitution to vote for OHA trustees.  "The right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of race."  There's no need to wait for an invitation. 

OHA is an agency of the state government.  All voters regardless of race can (AND SHOULD) vote in the OHA contests.  I hope you will join me in voting for Keli'i Akina.  The current incumbent has been there for 20 years.  Are you happy with what she has done?   Let's send her to a well-deserved retirement.  Time for a change.  E hana kakou!
