KE KĀKĀ O LETTER:
Kākau mākou iāʻoe e like me nā poʻeʻAmelika e noho nei me ka mahalo nui i kāu kulekele pili aupuni.
Ke kākoʻo nei mākou i ka kūlana o nā kānaka 25,000 i kākau inoa He palapala hoopii i ka wā o kāu hoʻolauleʻa aupuni e koi iāʻoe e lawe i ka militarism.
Ke manaʻo nei mākou ua pololeiʻo Kauka King e hōʻoia i ka hoʻokalakupua, ka waiwaiʻole, a me ka militarism e pono ke hoʻohoihoiʻia ma mua o ka kaʻawale, a he pololei kēia.
Manaʻo mākouʻaʻole kēia wale nō ka'ōlelo aʻo kūpono, akā, he kūpono ka pono, aʻaʻole -ʻo keʻano kūponoʻole - maikaʻi o nā koho pāloka.
I loko o kāu kaulike o ka'aha'ōlelo, ua nīnau pinepineʻiaʻoe i keʻano e uku aiʻoe no nā pono kanaka a me nā mea e pili ana i ka'āina e hiki ke ukuʻia no nā hapa liʻiliʻi nui o ka hoʻolālā koa. Ua paʻakikī ka paʻakikī o kāu pane a me ka hoʻonuiʻana i kaʻauhau. Manaʻo mākou eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka'ōlelo pinepineʻana i ke ola o ka pūʻali koa a me kona kumukūʻai. "Eʻoki aku au i ka 4% o ka hoʻolimalimaʻana ma ka Pentagon iʻole iʻikeʻia" he pane kūpono loa ma nāʻano a pau i ka weheweheʻana i nā kumukānāwai.
ʻO ka nui o ka hihia a mākou i manaʻo ai e hanaʻia ana e hanaʻia he wikiō Hoʻounaʻia ma kāuʻaoʻao Facebook ma ka 2018 mua. Akā, ke kaʻawale nei ia i nā pane a me nā manaʻo hoʻolālā. ʻO kāu hou Pākuʻi 10-kiko 'aʻole hiki ke hoʻomanaʻo i nā kulekele'ē aʻe.
Manaʻo mākouʻaʻole kēia i hana i ka hopena. Manaʻo mākou ke hoʻoili nei ka mea i komoʻole i loko o kaʻike. Ua maikaʻi ka hoʻolālā koa 60% o ke hoʻolilo maikaʻi. ʻO ka kulekele aupuni e pale i ka haʻiʻana i kona ola,ʻaʻole ia he kulekele ākea a pau. Inā piʻi a hōʻea paha ka hoʻolālā kālā i ka hoʻolālā kālā? ʻO kēia ka nīnau mua. Loaʻa mākou i kahi kālā e ukuʻia i ka mea e like me ka mea i loaʻa ma kaʻauhauʻana i nā waiwai a me nā hui (kahi mākou i makemake nuiʻia).
Hiki i kahi'āpana liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻolālā kaua o US pau ka pōloli, ka nele i ka wai maʻemaʻe, a me nā maʻi likeʻole o ka honua. ʻAʻole hiki i nā kulekele kōkua pilikino ke pale i ke ola o ka pūʻali koa. ʻAʻohe kūkākūkā kahe kulanui or ka ikaika pono or ke ala i ka lehulehu ʻaʻole pono e hōʻike i ka wahi e hele ai kahi kālā kālā i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻO nā kaua a me nā hoʻomākaukau no ke kaua, aia i waena o nā mea luku nui, ināʻaʻoleʻo ka mea luku nui loa, o ko mākouʻano maoli 'ia. ʻAʻole hiki i nā kulekele āpau ke hōʻole iā lākou.
ʻO Militarism ka punahele nui o ka hoʻopauʻana i nā kūʻokoʻa, a me ka hōʻoia maikaʻi no ka hūnā aupuni, ma luna maker of nā mea hūnā, ka luna nui o ka mana o ke kānāwai, ma luna Hoʻomākaukau o ka xenophobia a me ke koko nui, a me ke kumu nui e pilikia ai mākou i ka hoʻopukaʻana o ka hoʻoneʻe kaua. ʻAʻohe wahi o ko mākou ola kaiaulu i hoʻopauʻoleʻia e ka mea i kapaʻia e'Eisenhower ka meaʻoihanaʻoihana kaua.
ʻO ka lehulehu oʻAmelika makemake eʻoki ana i ka hoʻolālā koa
ʻO ka hopena hōʻailona hai aku ʻo nā kaua mai ka manawaʻo 2001 i hana kū'ēʻoleʻia, kahi'ōlelo i hōʻikeʻiaʻaʻole e hōʻeha iā ia i ka lā koho.
ʻO Kekemapa 2014 ʻO Gallup poll o nā lāhui 65 i loaʻa ka'āinaʻAmelika Huipūʻia a mamao aku i ka'āina iʻikeʻia ka mea nui loa i ka maluhia ma ka honua, a Pāpā Pew i ka 2017 i loaʻa i nā mea nui i ka hapanui o nā'āina i poliʻia eʻike i kaʻAmelika Hui Pūʻia. ʻOʻAmelika Huipūʻia no ka hoʻolakoʻana i nā wai inu maʻemaʻe, nā kula, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me nā panakuma i nā poʻe'ē aʻe, eʻoi aku ka palekana a me ka hakakā i ka hakakā a puni ka honua; ʻo ka hopena e ukuʻia he hapa o ka mea i hoʻokomoʻia i ka hoʻohuiʻana i ka Moku'āinaʻAmelika Hui Pūʻia a hoʻowahāwahāʻoleʻia.
Aia nā kumukānāwai ma ke Kulanui o Massachusetts ma Amherst palapalaʻia ʻO ka hoʻolālāʻana o ka pūʻali he hoʻokele waiwai hoʻomehana ma mua o ka papa hanaʻoihana.
Ke hoʻomaikaʻi aku nei mākou iāʻoe ma kāu mau kulekele pili aupuni. Uaʻike mākou i ka hakakā o nā pelekikena o ke pelekikena iāʻoe, aʻaʻole mākou e makemake e kūmua i ka manaʻo no ka hoʻokahuliʻoleʻiaʻana oʻoe. Hāʻawi mākou i kā mākou'ōlelo aʻo ma kaʻuhane pilina. Ua hana kekahi o mākou i ke kākoʻo o kāu hoʻoili aupuni. ʻO kekahi poʻe o mākou e hana, a hana ikaika, no kou kohoʻana, ua liloʻoe i mea koho no ka maluhia.
