This month marks a major milestone in the history of Hawaii, Statehood, and the Sovereignty movements in our Aloha State and around the world.
Many celebrate the 5oth anniversary of Hawaii's admission to the United States of America, as the 50th state in the union. This is also a time for personal reflection on the many changes, both good and bad, that have affected each of us who call Hawaii... "home".
The other side of the Hawaii Statehood coin is mired in the many sovereignty movements that have confused many like me for years.
Although I am an educated Hawaiian, I have not been able to find the interest or energy to learn and understand this sovereignty issue. It may be my western education, my lack of interest, or something else, but I have not yet seen the need or value of the sovereignty movement to me, my family, the Hawaii community, or the world we share.
I do, however, respect the time, energy, and effort of our Hawaiian leaders like Daniel Akaka and local sovereignty leaders to push forward on the movement they believe in.
We now open this post for your comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism to help us all learn more about what we do not understand.
Aloha and Mahalo/thanks.
July 4 Independence Day Weekend Closing
The July 4 Independence Day Weekend nears a close for another year.
After all the celebrating, camping, hiking, picnics, barbeques, fireworks, food, drinks, parties and your special family traditions, what will you remember and do for your personal and family's freedom, wealth, and independence until next year?
We all spend time having fun and celebrating the special holidays like the long July 4 weekend. But how much time do we really spend to celebrate our family's financial freedom, wealth, and independence? Probably very little now, since few of us share the financial freedom we expected from our good education, hard work, and smart investments.
The rising cost and declining career opportunities of a college education make me question the value and focus of our educational systems and institutions of higher learning. The major deterioration and collapse of world-wide industries like automobiles, manufacturing, insurance, mortgages, & others, and the growing involvement and control by world governments in global business, make me question the stability and security of jobs and careers, and a definite need for income alternatives for most of us to survive. The total irresponsibility and unaccountability of the financial industries, including banks, insurance companies, mortgage companies, investment companies and brokers, to properly protect the hard earned cash and life-time savings of every hard-working citizen throughout the world, makes me question the value, need, and purpose for financial institution and traditions, or any established institution or tradition, that does not serve the people, as originally created and intended.
But enough on my personal hot buttons. As part of your Independence Day tradition, I ask that you think and do something about your personal and family freedom, wealth, and independence. As Up With People used to sing in the 60's and 70's, "Freedom isn't free. You gotta pay the price, you gotta sacrifice, for your liberty."
Spend some time in honest assessment, evaluate you options, and take action for the benefit of your family freedom, wealth, and independence. I have chosen my income alternative as I approach retirement and pursue my freedom and independence through information marketing and publishing, like this and other blogs. Through my global brand, Martin K Pe'a, Hawaii Information Marketing and Publishing, and other businesses like Webprosperity, I work with family, friends, partners, and clients around the US and the world to build the family freedom, wealth, and independence we all deserve to celebrate.

A Happy Fathers Day Thank You To All Dads
Just wanted to take a brief moment away from the everyday hustle & bustle of my Internet & Niche Marketing world to wish all my WebProsperity mentors, leaders, team members, clients, associates, friends & family, who are Dads today, the very best of Fathers Day.
As the father of Christopher & Anthony, two successful young men who now chart their own courses & lives with their girlfriends Chelsea & Nicole, I am thankful for each of you fathers who have been the shining example for your children.
I thank you for taking complete responsibility to be the provider of your family, especially when times were tough.
I thank you for being the unselfish booster & supporter, when your children needed you at their scouting events, soccer & basketball games, school & church meetings, band performances, & family gatherings, especially when work called or you just didn't feel like it.
Of course I could not be the Father I am today without the love & support of my wife Jean & two sons Chris & Anthony, who helped me grow to be the person I am today. They are always my reason & reminder to take care of family first.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads around our internet world.
