First, I would like to send out a "thank you" to all those who have responded in over whelming support of my battle against the communist division of Hawaii, the DLNR. Not surprisingly, I did get a few hate comments, which I basically refuse to publish because well..some included a little profanity, and others flat out criticized my lack of grammatical skills. Hey, just because I don't proof my blogs, doesn't make my argument or opinion invalid. My response, this is a personal blog, not a literary published piece of art to be submitted to Pulitzer....and if you don't get my point, then you probably need to go back to school to learn simple reading comprehension skills.

To date, I have contacted several attorneys, including the ACLU, and I have been informed that I do have a case...in fact, the wedding industry has a case. The DLNR is currently trying to regulate land in which they don't own. Remember, Unencumbered State Land, is an oxymoron.... It basically means state land which is not own by the state, or any entity. How can you issue a permit for that? You can't. So they are issuing a "right of entry" permit. Basically, the DLNR is permitting a company to enter public land, not to use public land.

The DLNR is also infringing on the State's Business Bill of Rights, as they have not executed an Economic Impact Study on the use of permits...which is needed....it's law here in Hawaii. And lastly, they are completely ignoring the 2001 ruling, in which a U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the wedding industry.

There are a few bloggers that have written to me that the 2001 ruling is void because the DLNR was given jurisdiction of the beaches in Hawaii. In conversations with my lawyers, they said this is completely false. Just because an organization is assigned jurisdiction over any property, does not mean that organization can rewrite court rulings as they see fit. Any court ruling needs to be over-turned in a court-of-law, in order for that law to be interpreted differently.

See, I don't fear the permit itself...It's the future regulation of the wedding industry which I fear. Just recently, Morria Atta, of the DLNR told the Star Bulletin that his office will be collecting data to help determine appropriate sites for beach weddings and what their capacities should be.

Right now, the DLNR is giving out permits to anyone who wants one. This is just a ploy. It won't always be this way. They are collecting data on which wedding sites are popular. Then, they're going to regulate it... to each beach's capacity...

So when they regulate each beach, the big question would be...which wedding company would get the permits? And will couples be given the choice to choose which wedding company they could go with? The answer is no, couples won't be given the freedom to choose their wedding company. They will be forced to go with the wedding company which holds the permit for that beach, and more so...that time slot. I also fear that a secondary permit trading market will be created...meaning, one wedding company will sell their time slot to another wedding company for a profit. Of course, this screams communism...

Not good.....not good at all people.
