5. People on the mainland never hear what the issues we struggle with every day
they are
1. Affordable housing... real estate prices are obscene and the locals can not afford to home a home. Plus unlike the mainland we can not just load up the car and move to another county where it is cheaper. We are the most isolated part of the world (excluding Antarctica).
2. Hawaiian nationhood. We of non-Hawaiian blood live in a host culture that was overthrown by the us government. Native Hawaiians have no "native" rights unlike American Indian tribes.
3. Endangered habitat. We have more endangered species than anywhere else in the world!
8. Cause no one cares about Hawaiian issues by itself
and a Obama supporter is not necessarily going to read Clinton threads. I want to know what SHE thinks bout Hawaiian issues cause there is nothing in her stated positions that cover (for example) Hawaiian recognition.
Dennis Kucinich has made public statement supporting Hawaiian recognition. He seems to be the only one in the field who understands Hawaiian issues.
10. I for one am thankful to learn about Hawaii's issues.
You are right, I know nothing about concerns there and I can't recall ever hearing any politician discuss Hawaii in anything but the lightest of moods. I hope the candidates do address Hawaiian issues. Hawaii deserves as much attention as Iowa or New Hampshire or Georgia.
