"Although I cannot be here today because of a previous commitment, I stand in proud support of David Keanu Sai and this historically important lawsuit that he and the Office of the Regent of the Hawaiian Kingdom are starting against the United States government in order to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom. One hundred five years ago, the Hawaiian Kingdom was stolen by a group of American citizens acting with the illegal support of the United States government. Thieves cannot obtain or convey valid title to anything. As this lawsuit will establish, the United States never lawfully acquired the Hawaiian Kingdom. Despite 105 years of aggression, colonialism, military occupation, and genocide, the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists. It is up to each and everyone of us to do whatever we can in our own way and in accordance with our own talents to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom as an Independent Nation State, and with full-fledged Membership in the United Nations Organization." - Francis A. Boyle, Professor of International Law.
The Plaintiff, David Keanu Sai, will be present for a prepared statement and questions and answers.
This is no doubt a monumental case in the history of Hawai'i and the United States of america.
