Aloha friends,
I am sorry that I’m not able to join you at the Maui County Convention today.
Each year, I emphasize how important the work you are doing here to advance and protect our shared values really is. And this year, that might be truer than it ever has been before.
I want to thank everyone who made a phone call, sent a letter, or otherwise fought to save the ACA. There are many more fights to come, and we will probably lose more often than we win. But this proves that your efforts on these issues are making a difference. The #resistance is working.
I will keep fighting in the United States Senate, but we will need all of you to keep doing what you are doing as well. We are in this together.
Mahalo,
Brian Schatz United States Senator
April 1, 2017 Aloha Maui Democrats,
Mahalo to all of you for taking the time to participate in democracy and the future of our beautiful state. More than ever, our nation needs the aloha spirit. It is our kuleana to approach others with love, compassion, and a deep respect as we work to preserve and protect Mother Earth, and improve the lives of our brothers and sisters—our ʻohana. I'm grateful to serve the people of Hawaii, and I look forward to continuing to work with you.
Change is sorely needed in Washington, and we have a responsibility to reject the status quo of the establishment in both political parties and focus on real solutions that best serve the people of Hawaii and our country.
In politics, that means speaking up and doing what is right, even though it may not be the easy or politically expedient path to take. While doing the right thing is sometimes a lonely road, there is too much at stake to sit quietly on the sidelines as a spectator. We must be engaged. We must stand up for our values.
That means taking steps every day to enact a vision of this country where the ultra-rich can’t game our political and economic systems for their own benefit—a country where we all matter and where individuals of every walk of life are empowered to be a part of this great democracy that we live in.
Mahalo again for your dedication to doing all of this and more as we continue our work to bring about real reform and progress. Standing together, we can accomplish great things, and ensure that our government puts serving people, over politics and profits. Mahalo nui loa!
With sincere gratitude,
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard Serving the People of Hawaii's 2nd District
