I don't believe that the Jones Act should be entirely repealed. Amended, sure. But not repealed.

My reason is simple: SELF-PRESERVATION! Currently, Mogul Jeff Stone, has been pushing for a permit that will allow Passenger Cruise Liners to sail directly into his private Harbor & Kalaeloa. If the ever happens it will forever change the landscape of the Wai`anae Coast & price the Native Hawaiians right out of the last place we exists as the MAJORITY!

Years ago, the Hawaii Government decided to push all the Native Hawaiians out of Kaka`ako to make way for "progress". Today, with the renovation of Ala Moana Center's West End nearly complete, we see that already, Native Hawaiuans & other people on the lower end of the economic scale are effectively priced out of Ala Moana Center, which very design of boutique shops caters primarily to the Japanese visitors.

We, NATIVE HAWAIIANS must be Maka`ala & #defendthewestside. Then end of the Jones Act, will be the end of our collective power!
