Grassroot Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation engaging in issues research and education of voters and political representatives. The Institute is based in Honolulu. It was founded in 2000 by Richard O. Rowland, its current CEO and a former Army colonel and life insurance salesman; and Malia Zimmerman, currently a member of the board, and editor and publisher of the HawaiiReporter.com.

After several years of focusing mainly on personal liberties, tax hikes, and government regulations the Grassroot Institute hired Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer in Washington, DC, as a consultant in an effort to educate decision makers regarding the consideration of the Akaka Bill. The bill would allow Native Hawaiians of set blood quantums to set up an entity comparable to recognized Native American tribal entities. The bill failed to achieve cloture in June 2006.

Funding of the Institute's educational activities is supplied by donor/members. In addition, the "think tank" Institute applies for grants and does research for organizations on Hawaii State matters.
