It’s one week before the critical election in Hawaii, an election in which the voters of my wonderful state will make a choice of a future-forward outlook or the plantation politics of the past.
The winds of political change are really roaring across America and the agenda of the current Presidential Administration and the current Congress is being soundly repudiated and rejected by the electorate. People who had never been involved in politics and had never attended any kind of rally or protest took to the streets by the hundreds of thousands to raise their voices in protest. They were largely discounted by the national media because the crowds were mostly white, mostly middle-aged and older, mostly conservative, mostly Christian, mostly middle-class — the people nobody ever expected to organize and protest.
