    heheheh

    I'm fifty-two years old. I've never gone past the first floor. All I wanted was to take my application of nomination papers to run for City Council. I was told to go to the third floor. I went from office to office. Den I was shown the correct place on the first floor. Submitted my application den was told to wait while they check my background and information. I left and came back. Faith gave me my packet and instructed me to get fifteen signatures or more of my fellow registered voters from my district. I also have to read the information from the Campaign Spending Commission.

    Over all, it's been quite an interesting day!

    Everyone was helpful and friendly.

        It has begun...

        I've been busy talking and getting signatures!

        So much I have to learn and do.

        Priority is to do for the people and to remain humble.

        Truth and Compassion is the key for me.

            C'mon Aunty. You know people start out with good intentions but after they get elected, they only care about the photo op and looking good on TV.

            Anyways. Good look to you. My poor friends at Romy's office though, now they gotta work on Romy's campaign, outside of Honolulu Hale of course.

            Too bad I didn't catch you in the building, I could've said hello.

                  Aunty Lynn, I am sure as a candidate you will be quick on your feet and able to answer any kind of question on any issue the media and public will throw at you. So as a potential councilmember, I'll fire off the first question.

                  Where do you stand on the issue of rail transit for Honolulu? Are you for or against the rail project? Do you support the voter initiative effort to put the rail question on the ballot?
                  I'm still here. Are you?

                    ...and perhaps your answer should be put in the "Rail Transit" thread, so that all the folks interested in this issue will see your response (as they may not think to look in this thread); or start a new "Ask Candidate Pupule" thread.

                        ...oh, and the best of luck to you in your run for political office. I know you have the best motivation - you really want to get things moving and changing, especially for citizens whose voices are not heard. Just remember - you can make a difference throughout the campaign, getting spotlights on the issues that concern you; you don't have to wait until you win or lose to get people thinking.

                            I just filed my papers and have the task of collecting signatures. It's too soon for me to be making public statements about each and every issue, until I've had a chance to research them further. The transition from private citizen to public candidate is not instantaneous, and my first focus has to be on assembling my election team, making connections with experts and gathering details. Public pronouncements on issues will come before long.

                              In The Advertiser this morning:
                              http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/ap...LOCALNEWSFRONT

                              "Lynn Vasquez, a Kalihi resident, has declared her intent to challenge Cachola. She said that God inspired her to run for elected office.

                              "I'm an advocate for the homeless and the hungry. I see so many things happening in my area and there is nothing being done as far as I'm concerned," said Vasquez, who has lived in Kalihi her entire life. "I don't have money, but I have heart."

                              I told him moa den dat.

                              So I wrote it on my Blog on the Advertiser which was featured on the front page this morning. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/ap....dll/frontpage

                              The url is too long for the direct link to my page.
