Reply #8: I never have even heard of them.

I haven't gotten the chance to research any of the local political think-tank juggernauts, nor their platforms.

In the past, it's been my experience that it's better to get them to come to you. They seem to listen to you more intently, when you have something they want.

At least, it's worked for me in Rhode Island, where I am from originally. I figure it'll take me a few months. But, I expect a meeting by November.

If I can't find a better issue to bring up, I swear it'll be the cost of cigarettes in this state. Holy shit, you people. If the 20% of the population of Hawaii smokes, and 90% of that is low-income men; then why are we exploiting addiction?

I don't know how the crack problem is in Hawaii, but raising the cost of crack isn't going to make less crack addicts. It'll make the crack addicts poorer.
