The La'a Aina Coaliton Protest In the Rotunda

The La'a Aina Coalition will be sponsoring a protest in the Rotunda of the Kauai Mayoral Complex a week from this Thursday. Please spread the word.

The purpose of this protest is to disagree with the determination that the bikepath should go on or near the sacred Hikina A Ka La Heiau, or ANY heiaus on the maKAI side of the road.

We believe that all heiaus are precious, and equal in their importance, and that NONE can be disturbed.

We will be gathering and begin at Noon and go until 2 PM on December 10, in the rotunda area by the Mayors off ice. There will be a large petition to sign. If you can't make it, email and call the Mayor about your feelings on this issue.


Go ahead and bring signs, all are welcome to film or photograph this event. Media are welcome.


HOWEVER THIS IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST AND RALLY!! 


Around 2 pm we will walk the petition up to the Mayors office, in a friendly, polite and orderly way!

Sarah Palin"Book To Nowhere Book Burning" & Potluck On Kauai

STOP THE INSANITY!!

Aloha. I am organizing a "bookburning" for Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue". Here how it is going to work.

First, download this picture of the Sarah Palin Bookcover, and print out a color copy of it, or a black and white copy if you prefer.

Next, get an old magazine, or even an old book that you really don't want anymore. Attach the print out of the book cover to the front cover of the magazine or book.

*NOTE * NO BOOKS OR MAGAZINES WILL ACTUALLY BE BURNED THEY ARE PROPS TO MAKE OUR POINT WE WILL ONLY BE BURNING THE PAPER WITH THE IMAGE OF THE BOOK ON IT NO BOOKS OR MAGAZINES WILL BE HARMED I PROMISE!*

Then bring it with you, when we have the official bookburning, which will be on  Saturday, DECEMBER 19 at LYDGATE PARK, from 9 AM till 11 AM. I will be on twitter or my facebook account. Click the badge on this blog to find out the dates and times for the bookburning.

This way, we don't have to fatten her wallet with actually "purchasing " her book.

You can also download the Sarah Palin Nope picture and use that instead.

Stay tuned for the exact date and time announcements, right here, on facebook, and also twitter. Mahalo!

Daughter Is Chip Off The Old Blog

OK, so I have to do some mom praising stuff. Too bad if it embarasses the kid. Hey that is what parenthood was invented for, right?

I am so proud of my daughter carrying on our ohana legacy by getting involved with politics. She is recently joined an amazing group of young people on Kauai and around the nation called 

 The Young Democrats

To say that I was just proud would be an understatement. Not only did she join the Democrat Party and register to vote, after an entire lifetime of schlepping around with me, her mother to political events, meetings and campaign stuff and sign wavings something rubbed off on her! The most amazing part of it, is this recent move of hers I knew nothing about until she told me.

Thanks to the influence of some nice young gentlemen she knows (yes, there actually are some out there), and some nice young ladies she is involved on something very positive that will encourage her to move foreward and get involved. More importantly as she keeps telling me, she does have independent thoughts from me on the issues. That is just a tad un nerving, but I know my daughter. She is a died in the wool liberal.

Suffice it to say my pride cup is overflowing. Now if she could only keep her room neat!

Love, Mom
