HOW our elected Representatives vote ...

Dear BHW Sisters,

It IS time for TRUTH ... Too many are UNaware what IS going on ...

Consider PLEASE disarming the one person who cajoled Republican candidates to sign a "No New Taxes" pledge ... IF there is ONE person to blame for the IMPASSE and the failure to negotiate in our national government today ... his name is Grover Norquist ...

We NEED to vote OUT all who signed the pledge!!! ... WHY? ... Because IF we believe our national debt NEEDS to be reduced then WE must step up and help!!! ... ...

For ANYONE to "threaten" and for ANYONE as a consequence to sign a pledge TYING their hands is NONSENSE! ... HOW has this even been ALLOWED ... AND ... HOW do thinking men/women sign such a document? .... THINK ABOUT IT, my dear BHW Sisters ... that IS INFLUENCE that is way beyond what should be allowed ...

Now, while we're on the topic of CONTROL ... WHY are we to accept a Supreme Court which allowed "Super PACs"?? ... We, those who have been paying attention, have borne witness to HOW the "Super PACs" work ... Governor Romney has routinely "wiped out" trailing in the polls with massive negative ads put on by "Super PACs" which support his candidacy ... Once again, it appears that our national election system has FAILED us ... By allowing "Super PACs," the Supreme Court has almost ensured that MONEY will decide our elections ... and WE, the PEOPLE, must NOT stand idly by and allow this to happen ...

WE, the PEOPLE, must exercise our voting rights judiciously ... in an INFORMED way ... Do NOT allow yourselves to be INFLUENCED by "Super PAC" monies ... I know faaaaar tooooo many people WILL be INFLUENCED because they are UNinformed ... THEY think whatever they see on the air, especially ... and in print is truth ... Hmmmm ... VERY SAD!!! ... ... ... ...

PLEASE open YOUR eyes , my dear BHW Sisters ... IF we are to make a REAL difference in OUR lives and the lives we ALL seek to live ... WE MUST PAY ATTENTION ... WE MUST UNDERSTAND what IS going on .. ....

With profound and abundant gratitude ... my deep respect ... my love and many blessings ... ...

Aloha pume hana,
