So the decision, of course, is all yours. Continue to keep the 2/25th SBCT inside Hawaii and I can assure you that not only Hawaiians – but people from throughout the US and internationally, too, will help fund lawsuits the likes of which the US Military has not ever seen - yet.

Sir, you can take that to the bank. Hawaii is a US state – the Hawaiian people are our people, too. America is not going to turn its back on Hawaii any longer and allow you to bully over the Hawaiians’ gracious nature as you continually work to destroy paradise and the health and well-being of all who live there.

Choose the Hawaii alternative and be prepared for a battle that will be waged in federal court and with horribly bad press in the news. If you thought that the Superferry has created a media ruckus? Just wait and see what happens if you do not decide to remove your combat brigades out of Hawaii and clean up the military bases – and that includes not just Hawai’I and O’ahu, but also the other places you’ve wrecked with your toxic and radioactive contaminants, the islands of Moloka’I, Maui, Kaho’olawe, Ka’ula, and Kaua’i, too.

The US law is on the side of basic human rights – and according to humanitarian law, the US federal government can not simply continue to take destructive actions that put the health and well-being of the local citizens at serious risk. The US military is destroying not just property – but all forms of life on the Hawaiian Islands.

Uncle Sam, know that your future decision – should you choose the Hawaii Alternative for the 2/25th Stryker Brigade Combat Team - will be not be forgiven nor forgotten. And definitely, it will not be ignored. You can, in all certainty, count on that.


Sincerely,

Cathy Garger
