    JANUARY 2015 | VOLUME 50 | ISSUE 1 www.hgea.org Hawaii Government Employees Association AFSCME LOCAL 152, AFL-CIO HGEA Staff & Members Working For Our Legislative Priorities The bad old days of the Republican Lingle administration, economic distress, and legislative take-away bills are still fairly fresh memories even though we have now been experiencing a slow economic recovery. You may remember it was February 2009 when House Speaker Calvin Say introduced bills that would have stripped away public employee benefits. Those bills, introduced under the guise of cost saving measures, proposed to cut health insurance benefits, eliminate prescription drug coverage for all employees and cut dental, vision and life insurance benefit coverages. HGEA Legislative Officer Michele Kurihara-Klein said, State Rep. Mark Nakashima, chair of the House Committee on Labor & Public “HGEA members and staff unified and fought hard against Employment, and HGEA Legislative Officer Michele Kurihara-Klein the take-away bills through political action, which included submitting testimony, attending hearings, and lobbying Did you know Hawaii Government Employees Association legislators. All that hard work paid off in the end, however we staff will review every bill that is submitted during the 2015 must remain vigilant.” legislative session? That’s about 3,000 bills and several hundred resolutions. As we’ve seen in the past, when we are united, we This recent example highlights how all of our members’ can and do make a difference. Every HGEA member can be hard-earned benefits can be taken away by legislation. That’s part of the political process. Staff may need your help during why political action, supporting legislators who support the legislative session to attend hearings and submit testimony.

  • 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    FRC ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 114th Congress. This online Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting faith, family, and freedom that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span the 2015 calendar year and include the greatest number of pro-life votes in history, after the U.S. House increased its Republican membership and the U.S. Senate was returned to Republican control. The year began with a bipartisan effort in the House to prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortion coverage under Obamacare. Congress successfully fought to restrict FDA approval of some forms of embryo-destructive research. The House, once again, passed legislation that would prevent late abortions on 5 month old pain-capable unborn children, and although the Senate was unable to pass the bill due to the 60 vote threshold, for the first time, a majority of Senators voted in favor of the bill. The public release of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices renewed efforts to defund this scandal-ridden organization and redirect funding towards community health centers. In an unprecedented victory, the House and Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Ameri- cans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare.

  • The Power of Giving
    THE POWER OF GIVING 2010 Annual Report HARNESSING HEMOGLOBIN CHRISTOPHER CHUN HEMOGLOBIN HERO Blood. It doesnʼt just help us to live our lives, but helps to give life to others. When itʼs needed, Hemoglobin Hero and donors like Christopher Chun come to the rescue! Hemoglobin Heroʼs iron-rich, oxygen-carrying protein is present in the red blood cells of donors like Christopher, who started giving blood in 1980 at his company drive. It wasnʼt until his mother became ill in 1990 that he made blood donation a lifesaving habit. “I saw blood in real terms, and I was inspired to give more often,” says the century donor with characteristic enthusiasm . “Now, giving blood is part of my routine. You donʼt have to be Superman to save a life!” PRESIDENT & CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE At Blood Bank of Hawaii, we need not look far to find heroes. We see them every day during a visit to our donor room, or to a Lifesaver Club, school or community drive. They represent all ages, ethnicities and walks of life. They roll up their sleeves and quietly engage in one of life’s most altruistic services – giving the gift of life. We are proud to know these extraordinary heroes, and to serve as the critical link between the donors and Hawaii’s hospitals. As new treatments and procedures help save more patients and improve the quality of their lives, the need for blood is more vital than ever. Hawaii’s volunteer blood donors enable the use of new therapies and technologies, and make recovery a reality for countless people.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
