Aloha Friends, welcome back. We’re hitting the ground with part 2 of 2. This should bring you up to date.

Happy beginning to 2013. Writing periodically to Republicans and conservatives, mostly in Hawaii, I email rather than blog because this is a (quasi-) private discussion. These reports augment what you should hear from the Republican Party. Mostly ‘stuff’ you don’t have on your radar or things you should look up, my comments are not personal – perceived favorable or unfavorable. We won’t always agree but we should be informed. Let me know if you want to be removed from the list. Similarly, please feel free to forward this report to other conservatives and they can write to get on the list. Conservatives need to know that they are not alone in Hawaii.

–R4L. Jones (movie producer – Bella) had a compelling story (he is a story) at the December meeting and eventually three legislators and 30 people showed up. Hats off to Skaf and her team. jacquelyn.skaf@gmail.com. Family Advocates Hochberg, made a good appeal for $ in preparation for the legislative session. Among the action steps were to attend the January 16 Legislative opening with Life info packets. Check the HRP newsletter for the next meeting. March for Life is January 26.

Aloha Friends, welcome back. We’re hitting the ground running with part 1 of 2. If you have had any time to tune in, you know there is a lot happening.

Happy beginning to 2013. Best wishes for a healthy and elections-winning year! Beginning a new calendar year with a happy new year prayer for the US.

-January 5 East Oahu meeting. 8:30 AM Don’t miss it. Marian243@hawaiiantel.net Speakers include Senate Republican leader and House minority leader emeritus with session beginning in less than two weeks.

-January 9 SBH Annual Business & Investment Conference 9 AM http://www.smartbusinesshawaii.com. Cayetano gives his perspective on Hawaii politics. Much more. Freedom Works Kibbe had to cancel.

-District/Precinct Caucus meetings. HRP is taking over. No funds = again no notification postcards, try www.gophawaii.com. Several district and one county chair resigned rather than have big brothers Walden & Nonaka tell them how to run their districts, another county chair thinking about it. So much for grassroots. So much for GOPDC, “[Blom] even said the lists are based on 2010 data entries!”
