How many of you have sent emails to Schatz and Hirono. Let's hear it if you did.

I did two years ago and learned it was a waste and seeing those saying they got canned responses, its clear its the same old shit.

Below is an exchange I had with Pearl City Rep Gregg Takayama. I sent it in December prior to the legislative session:

Mr. Takayama,
 
As the 2017 Hawaii Legislative Session approaches in several months, it is my concerned hope that the leadership of the State of Hawaii will defend the rights of all citizens and uphold our Second Amendment Rights.
 
Over the decades, the people of Hawaii have clearly demonstrated that the sprit of ALOHA dictates our actions and the law-abiding firearm owners of Hawaii have been more than responsible with the current laws in place. Our firearms have not been forced to be altered and our overall crime rates with regards to firearms have enjoyed boastful lows compared to the rest of the country, especially compared to states like California and the city of Chicago where more stringent firearms regulations have proven to NOT curb the continued “gun violence” plaguing inner cities and the gangs involved with such crimes. Again, the spirit of ALOHA in Hawaii dictates our behavior as lessons learned from our Kupuna have been passed down to the generations today.


Response:

Aloha:
 
Thank you.  I agree that Hawaii's firearms laws should not be changed unnecessarily, and only if there is a clear public safety interest at stake.
 
Mahalo,
Gregg

You can talk to your congressman directly.  Contact their office to make an appointment to see them at the federal building in town.  Or go to their town hall meeting, you'll be in hostile territory though.

We already know the answer ....

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I always vote.  Presidential races are a waste of time here if you don't vote Democrat, so local offices are always more important.

Voted in all of them, useless as it is here, other than for McCain, could not do it..  Helped in West Hawaii to get over 40% of the vote for Trump.

Still drives local liberals batshit to remind them of that.  They always want to change the subject to the state-wide %.

Did vote to shitcan Abercrappie, just for the pleasure of it.  Felt weird to vote "democrat" for the first time in 50 years, but had to get the message out to Obunghole diehards.

I vote, call, and email. 

Can we do a group appointment with these people. I know the town halls are all a set up agenda.  I even ask tons of questions on Twitter

These are entrenched democrats.  Their minds are closed on this and other issues.

They would just smile at a group and keep on doing what they and Soros/DNC want them to.

One thousand runners can close a highway time after time. Not saying it's the same. But our problem is there's no cohesiveness.
