"I Liliuokalani, by the Grace of God and under the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen, do hereby solemnly protest against any and all acts done against myself and the Constitutional Government of the Hawaiian Kingdom by certain persons claiming to have established a Provisional Government of and for this Kingdom.
"That I yield to the superior force of the United States of America whose Minister Plenipotentiary, His Excellency John L. Stevens, has caused United States troops to be landed a Honolulu and declared that he would support the Provisional Government.
"Now to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life, I do this under protest and impelled by said force yield my authority until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representatives and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the Constitutional Sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands." Queen Liliuokalani, Jan 17, 1893

Distress Signal

U.S. Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8(a) states, "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." The emphasis is on extreme and imminent and personal. This is not to be used as an objection to war or other government policies.

To explain this more, simply look no further than the County of Kauai local government and its leaders for negligence at all levels. Stories of police corruption go far beyond peoples front doors.

The heartless breed running rampant within the Kauai Police Department has never been disciplined, only promoted or reassigned.

Until President George Bush is impeached and the American Justice System is restored to encompass our original Constitutional Bill of Rights as set forth by the founding fathers of this nation, the American flag should be flown upside down as a sign of DISTRESS. Americans rights in Hawaii are at great risk of being abused and denied.
