I had a meeting with Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery and individuals interested in preventing human trafficking for prostitution at my office today, November 13, 2009 from 2:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.

I attended the rally for Walk Across Oahu honoring our veterans at the Hawaii State Capitol rotunda on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 from 3:15 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.

I attended a conference by The National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NaFFAA) at the Filipino Community Center in Waipahu on Sunday, November 8, 2009 from 5:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M.  I explained how to create a testimony for legislative hearings in a break-out session.

In the 2002 State House race for Waipahu, I got zero endorsements.  All the unions supported one opponent and all the business trades supported another opponent.  In the 2004 State House race for Waipahu, the Republican Party attacked me with all their might and money with Governor Linda Lingle walking door-to-door and Lt. Governor Duke Aiona walking door-to-door and sign waving for my opponent.  In the 2008 State House race for Waipahu, I was told by political insiders that no politician in the history of Hawaii politics has ever won after getting a DUI or any other negative mistake.  I won every single election despite the difficult obstacles and often harsh opposition.  From day one in my political career, I have worked hard and relentlessly, never giving up.  In my four State House elections, I have walked my district 10 times, which is about 64,000 homes.

As of today, I greeted about 21,500 people as I campaigned throughout the State of Hawaii.  I want to be the top politician when it comes to hustling the streets, parks, and events by meeting tens of thousands of people by September 18, 2010.  I want to take grassroots campaigning to a level that has never been seen before.  If I win, I win, but if I go down, I want to go down in an all-out blitz. 

I am thankful for my loyal friends/campaigners for their support.  They give me the extra energy to keep me charging relentlessly.  Our campaign team is best described by these words:

1. IDEAS
2. FRIENDSHIP
3. COMPASSION
4. LOYALTY
5. DETERMINATION
6. ENERGY
7. TENACITY

I will do my best!  Thank you!
