Aloha kakahiaka kakou.


PLEASE REDISTRIBUTE AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE WITHIN HAWAI`I!!



First and foremost, we have to assume that there will be a vote in *59* days
on whether or not our state will be subject to a full frontal rightwing
conservative assault on our state's constitution, taking away rights and
benefits and molding a new one in their image.  We can not afford to assume
that the Judge Ezra's decision will be overturned or forestalled.


1)  Make no mistake about this, this attack on the constitution will be:

     �  ANTI-WOMEN

     �  ANTI-ENVIRONMENT

     �  ANTI-GAY

     �  ANTI-UNION

     �  ANTI-DEMOCRATIC PARTY

     �  ANTI-HAWAI`IAN

     �  ANTI-BUDDHIST, ANTI-SHINTOIST AND ANTI-TAOIST

     �  ANTI-LIBERAL

     �  ANTI-MINORITY

     �  ANTI-STUDENT

     �  ANTI-MARIJUANA

     �  ANTI-IMMIGRANT

     �  ANTI-PUBLIC SERVANT


2)  With a vote possible in *59* days, that means you must be registered to
vote in *29* days.

     �  You must register to vote if you have moved to Hawai`i 
          recently.  Your voter registration in another state
          does not carry over.

     �  You must re-register to vote if you have moved anywhere
          *within* Hawai`i since the election that was held in
          November of 1996.  Until you re-register, you are still
          registered at your *old* residence, and must travel to
          that precinct to vote in that instance.

     �  You must re-register to vote if you did *not* vote in either
          the primary or general elections of 1996.  If you voted
          in one or the other, or both, your registration remains
          in tact.  If you missed voting in both elections you are
          automatically dropped from the voter registration polls.

3)  Conservatives and Rightwingers *NEVER* miss a chance to go to the polls.
They win because of voter apathy on our side.  They loose when we turn out
to vote.  Keep in mind that they already have all their strength poised and
ready.  It is up to us to mobilize and turn out the vote to defeat the call
for a Constituional Convention.  Our side can only grow stronger.

4)  You may obtain voter registration forms from:

     �  each of the County Clerk's offices in 
          �  Lihu`e, 241-3650,
