Online poll question on Akaka Bill too limited
I got a bit of a surprise today when I saw that a
note I had sent to the Maui News intended to be only a suggestion got
published
as a letter, but I guess I'm glad they did publish it :)
Online poll question on Akaka Bill too
limited
The Akaka Bill poll question (www. mauinews.com) is rather limited because:
1. It doesn't distinguish between those who oppose the Akaka Bill for different reasons (since people on opposite sides of the independence issue - those who oppose Hawaiian rights and those who support independence - agree in opposition to the Akaka Bill).
2. It doesn't allow one to say that one supports independence instead, or that one might support the Akaka Bill but would prefer independence (which is the position of many who support it).
So I would like to suggest you have a poll on independence, asking a question like:
If Hawaii was recognized as an independent country, would you like to be a citizen?
