I am writing this directly from The Maui News Morning Paper at 6:00 AM in the morning Hawaii Time.

Kucinich to join in isle political fray

With a focus on the presidential race, the campaigns on Maui will be heating up over the weekend with Maui Democrats announcing on Friday that Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich will arrive on the Valley Isle today.

Details of Kucinich's schedule had not been completed Friday but he will appear during a Maui Democratic rally scheduled for Sunday from 10 A.M. to 1 P.M. at the Kahului Shopping Center. He is also scheduled to speak on radio station KPMW 105.5 FM from 11 AM to noon Sunday.

Kucinich, who twice campaigned on Maui in seeking his party's presidential nomination, will be back to represent John Kerry campaign and to voice his objections to the ivasion of Iraq. He is expected to speak at Maui churches tonight.

The Kucinich appearance will be just one of a number of events being put together to rally supporters on both sides of the presidential race between President George W. Bush and Kerry.

<blah blah blah, stuff about Republicans, snip>

Up the Hana Highway near Baldwin Beach Park, a Democratic Party rally was greeting a line of motorists caught in the normal Paia afternoon jam, with many honks of support but others ignoring the sign wavers.

"It's the most important election in my lifetime and possibly the most important election in history," said Jo Feinberg, a Pukalani resident. "It's time to make a historical change. Think about the Supreme Court, our environment, honesty in government and what we will leave for future generations.

"Our government is headed on the wrong path," she said.

The Maui Democrats will also hold sign-waving rallies Sunday in Lahaina and Monday in South Maui.

Why is Kucinich going to Maui? Well, he only won the island of Maui with a majority of the votes in the 2004 Primary. That means 50+ percent. He also came in 2nd for the State Overall.

Most of Kucinich's delegates to the National Convention came from Hawaii.

I still don't think Bush will win Hawaii. However, if the National Parties are sending in prominent figures, then something MUST be going on.

One thing that the National Democrats MUST HAMMER AWAY HERE IN HAWAII Is the Environment. When Kerry did a Sattilite Interview with the local news stations here, he didn't mention the Environment ONCE. I tell ya, the Democrats can go a LOOONNNNGGG WAY by mentioning the failures of the Bush Administration's environmental reforms here in Hawaii.

1. That's great news

Sending in DK to remind voters of why we need change.

Good for Dennis and good for Hawaii.

2. Tourism

That's what I heard your governor say on MSNBC. Businesses need tourism and are apparently buying the Bush will make them safer nonsense. That and their tax cuts.

Maybe there needs to be a quick effort to remind people that international visitors won't come at all if they keep hating the US the way they do. That our airline cargo holds still aren't inspected. And that John Kerry is the one who introduced the legislation to help tourism small businesses hurt by 9/11 get low interest loans. As well as the impact environmental damage will have on tourism.

Just wanted to add that for the non-capitalists among us. :)
