Totally meaningless. Non-binding not worth arguing about since it is full of fluff; a totally feeeeeeel good for and from the Hawaiian hippie - yippie Neil Abercrombie.
Lets take a look of what the meaningless and non-binding resolution says:
"(1) the first Native Hawaiian to serve in Congress, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana‘ole;"
Wow the first native.
"(2) the first Asian-American to serve in the Senate, Hiram Fong;"
Oh wow, the first Asian.
"(3) the first woman of color to serve in Congress, Patsy T. Mink;"
Wow again!! the first color women!
"(4) the first Native Hawaiian to serve in the Senate, Daniel Kahikina Akaka; and"
Another wow! The first native!!
"(5) the first Japanese-American to serve in the Senate, Daniel Ken Inouye;"
I can't take these wows anymore... - WOW! The first Nippon-American!
But there's more!
"Whereas Kilauea ranks among the most active volcanoes on Earth;"
Kilauea, it does have many lava flows that National Geographic can film!
Whereas Hawaii has produced musical legends ranging from traditional favorites such as Alfred Apaka, Don Ho, and Genoa Keawe, to Hawaii renaissance performers such as Eddie Kamae, Raymond Kane, Gabby Pahinui, Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole, the Brothers Cazimero, and the Beamer Brothers, and continuing on to contemporary stars such as Keali‘i Reichel, Ledward Kaapana, Jake Shimabukuro, and Raiatea Helm;
I've always liked Don Ho! He's the man singing ballads!!! Go Don Ho!
Game, set, and Match.
Don't you wish. Obama needed a resolution to be born in Hawaii? Hey, here's an idea. How about Obama show his real Birth Certificate instead of hiding like a girl behind laws where he violates the intent and a silly resolution written by his wacko buddy.
The non-binding resolution was a political victory for Neil Abercrombie who is running for Governor. He got Republicans to go on the record, the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, endorsing the language that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and not one single member of the House is on record opposing that language.
