January 18, 2009

Dear Friends:

Democracy is an evolving concept that we as a nation must continually strive to achieve. With this inauguration, our nation takes a momentous step forward in its historic journey. It is a proud moment for America, and one that gives further life to those simple but powerful words in the Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

I am confident that President Obama will restore hope to our nation’s people, and refocus meaningful support for working families and those in need. I am also confident that President Obama will restore America’s good name throughout the world, and will bring our brave men and women home from a stabilized Iraq with honor.

There is much expectation and exhilaration. There are also many challenges that lie ahead, but together with a solidly Democratic Congress, I have no doubt that we will persevere and prevail. Congratulations America. God Bless America.

Aloha,

Derek Kawakami quote

“I have had the privilege of knowing the Kawakami family from childhood. My relationship dates back to Derek’s grandfather, H.S. Kawakami, who was my father’s high school classmate, and continued forward with Derek’s uncle.. my dear 442nd buddy, George Kawakami.

“Derek is the third generation Kawakami I have had the honor of working with; he served as my 2004 Kauai Campaign Co-Chair. It was a learning opportunity, and he did a fine job. I believe it also piqued his own interest in public service.

“I am very pleased that Derek is carrying forward the Kawakami tradition of leadership and giving back to the community.”
