Aloha kakou,
The Committee of Hawaiian Nationals invites you to the following Ku'e (oppose, object, resist, protest) Actions planned for next week. These public demonstrations serve as a reminder that events of 118 years ago deprived us of our country, and we are here to say "give it back," "FREE HAWAII". You are most welcome to join us. The more, the better!
January 16, 2011 - Sovereign Sunday - KU'E on the 118th anniversary of the U.S. Invasion.

January 17, 2011 - Monday - Dr. Martin Luther King Day Events. On January 17, 1893, a faction of merchants and sugar barons, backed by the invasion force of US Marines that landed the day before, forced Queen Lili'uokalani to yield her ruling power to the U.S. and seized control of the Hawaiian Kingdom government. Coincidentally, the annual Martin Luther King Day parade and rally is being held on January 17 this year and The Committee of Hawaiian Nationals will participate in this event to draw attention to our efforts to FREE HAWAII.
