Hannemann appearance on Kaua‘i draws crowd

Hannemann appearance on Kaua‘i draws crowd

I will not be voting for Hanneman. I do not live on Oahu I live on Kauai the outer islands have been ignored long enough. I will not vote for a conservative right leaning democrat that will not support civil rights for gays, and the homeless. Mufi has been an outspoken advocat AGAINST gay rights and has treated the homeless in hi9s own city as a less then human annoyance, like garbage littering the street. I will not be voiting for him. In my opinion he is not even center, and certainly not left of center. The republicans will LOVE Mufi as Governor. I have had enough of right leaning leaders thank you. My vote is for Neil Ambercrombie. If Mufi gets elected, trust me, I will be really annoying this guy to either get with the Democratic party platform of equity equality and compassion or go to the Republican party. I will not tolerate a theocratical hypocritical view of the world and the people of this state any longer I have lived through it and suffered through it for the last eight years. Lingles term as Governor can be describes as nothing short of Abusive to the people. We need a Governor who will appreciate and elevate the outer islands to equal standing on Oahu not treat us like second class citizens beholden to Oahu. NOPE. I say no to Mufi. And i doubt he can change my mind before the election.

Its not so easy to run for elected office. People who make it look easy, have practiced, know the issues, been out in the community attending meetings and doing the background work on issues. If you are not used to public speaking, my suggestions are to take a course at KCC to learn how to do it better. I did. I got an A!

Also, make sure you attend meetings. A lot of peiple do not know what is really going on at board meetings and things while others have done their homework or can site statistics to discuss talking points this is important in any debate. Knowing both sides of an issue is imperative to make informed and intelligent decisions. Something that more of our elected officials should try and learn.

So if the forum was stressful, just go back to the drawing board and try again. If you had enough guts to run the first time and you dont make it thats quitting when you could be a great contributor to the issues and the organization. I never quit. And i hardly ever succeed. But one day I will. You don;t get anywhere by giving up because it was hard one time. You have to keep trying. Thats why we dont have more people coming out for elected offices, and when they do its hard, so they quit.

In regards to Par Kegan, I am very dissapointed he did not win. But I think not enough people knew who he was yet. That will change. Pat will continue to put himself out there, and I think that he will be successful in the end. Go Pat, keep trying.

Well i have said my piece on this. Hope KIUC can shake things up and turn things around on Kauai, and stand FIRM on environemental responsibility.
