SYNOPSIS
[I have contacted the ACLU, and given them much information, but they seem more interested in writing briefs for exotic entertainers, arrested for doing lap dances. First they tell me they cannot help unless the matter involves a government agency, then they tell me they can if a decision is against me, then they tell me they do not have the manpower and time. Each of the criteria, I met at the time I contacted them.
Coincidentally, I find a lawyer, Roger Fonseca, at the firm representing my former employer, is the national representative for the Hawaii chapter of the ACLU, and t heir staff also have a few names that are the same as those associated with Hawaii real estate. They cannot help, but they can accept my information.]

"First of all, government has a timeless tendency of targeting folks they think they can intimidate, those they view as politically unpopular or powerless," says Chong, who was featured on MidWeek's cover March 10, 1993. "As a result, the ACLU has to intervene and assist those individual rights. Over my 30 years with the local ACLU, the issues have changed, but the ACLU's mission is unwavering."

Types of cases the ACLU of Hawaii generally does not accept.
The ACLU of Hawaii generally does not accept the following types of cases:
Employment. The ACLU of Hawaii usually cannot help when employees believes that they were fired unjustly or were otherwise treated unfairly at work. This is especially true when the employer is a private company rather than a government agency. But when workers can show that they were fired or mistreated because of their race, gender, ethnic background, religion, disability or any other basis that violates anti-discrimination statutes, there is stronger legal protection. In such cases, we ask that you pursue your complaint with the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission (HCRC) before you send a letter to the ACLU of Hawaii. For information about filing a complaint with the HCRC, write 830 Punchbowl Street, Room 411, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, or call the agency at (808) 586-8636.
The ACLU of Hawaii only handles cases that involve violations of civil liberties and civil rights.
Civil liberties include the right to due process and equal protection of the law, as well as freedom of expression; freedom of the press; religious freedom; the right of association; the right of privacy; the right to be free of unreasonable search and seizures, and the right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment.
Many of these civil liberties are protected by provisions in the United States Constitution such as the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment, and also by similar provisions in the Hawaii Constitution. In most cases, these constitutional provisions apply only to the government. Accordingly, in most cases, a legal matter raises a civil liberties issue only when a governmental official or a governmental agency is responsible for violating your rights.
Civil rights statutes strengthen the right to equal protection by prohibiting private businesses as well as governmental agencies from discriminating. If you are the victim of discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, ethnic background, gender, religion, disability, and in some jurisdictions, sexual orientation, you may have a legal remedy.

REALLY ????
<*Rights of the Poor:
*Poor people are one of the least powerful groups in the U.S. and their
civil liberties are therefore always in a precarious state. The ACLU has defended
the rights of the poor against government arbitrariness and abuse
through litigation, lobbying and public education.
