Aloha,




I am sure you are well aware of the legislative system in Hawaii. This year, several bill are being proposed and I humbly ask for your help in fighting them and support the one that gives fisherman protection from harassment. If you can email me back your testimony on the below 3 bills we will present the testimony in person next week at the first hearing. The hearing notices have NOT been posted online and if you submit now, it will not go to the appropriate place. Your testimony can be as in-depth as you would like, or a simple "I oppose this Bill".

Please include if you are a Hawaii resident and if not please include you are a tourist of Hawaii. Share with anyone that you think may help.
