Out-of-Hawai'i template REPS Hawaiian Affairs

E-mails should be sent to HAWtestimony@capitol.hawaii.gov and reps@capitol.hawaii.gov. Please include kupuaina@gmail.com in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy). We'll appreciate it and it gives us some idea as to how many e-mails the Representatives get. Feel free to cut and paste the below e-mail message.



Dear Members of the Hawai‘i House of Representatives,

As I'm sure you know, Hawai‘i is unlike any other place. Hawai‘i people are also unlike other people.

In recent years, an unfortunate number of Hawai‘i people have moved out of the islands, and moved from the areas they still call home. Hawai‘i organizations exist throughout the world, and these clubs are formed and led by people who have strong roots to Hawai‘i. These people are Native Hawaiians and non-Native Hawaiians. We come together for events, festivities and meetings because we all have a common interest, our love of Hawai‘i. It is out of that love, that I send you this e-mail.

Although I may not live in Hawai‘i now, Hawai‘i is a special place for me and my family. I urge you to protect a part of what makes Hawai‘i special and pass Senate Bill 1085.

Sincerely,



(enter your name here)
