But if you are not able to refute the evidence, then beginning on November 28, 2014, Hawaiian Independence Day, La Ku\u2018oko\u2018a, which has been celebrated since 1843, the United States Flag will no longer be raised over the Hawaiian flag from that day forth. We demand that the Hawaiian flag shall be raised first and be last taken down each day. The occupying United States flag shall be on a separate flag pole of exact same height with the flag flown as well at the same height. If no flag pole is provided for the U.S. flag it shall not be raised until one is provided by the University of Hawai\u2018i at Hilo and Hawai\u2018i Community College at no cost to the students.
