Tomorrow night (Sunday) 5-7pm at the Akebono Theater there will be a huge fundraiser for Fred Blas.
It’s $100 for the dinner, entertainment, (I think Ernie Cruz Sr.) and the Lieutenant Governor Duke Iona will be the speaker.

Wow...
So Fred Blas has the audacity to have someone write a post asking for $100 from us. Where is this man? I don't see any posts from him here. Why isn't he putting himself out there to take questions and hear concerns from the people who can not afford a $100 dinner?

Wow....
I guess Fred is doing something right... people are starting to talk bad about him.
This was a fund raiser, not a talk to the masses event, he had one of those weeks ago at the farmers market.
Fund raiser, meaning these people are already going to vote for him, he just wants there help getting more votes.
These are the people that are on his call/email list. Our invite came personally from Fred, I do not think it was a walk in and pay event at all.
It was a nice event, much more down to earth then the crappy side shows I have seen in Texas.
Most if not all of the Action Team were there and as usual helped out with the clean up after the event.
I introduced myself to the Lieutenant Governor and told him that we were new arrivals to the Hawaii and he asked where we were from, I said Texas, and he laughed and said I guess you are a republican then.....I had to say... sorry... no... but he never missed a beat and we had a nice chat. I might even vote for him after I do some more reading.
The only thing the Lieutenant Governor talked about that was off the subject of Fred was the Constitutional Convention, This is a subject I need some real help with, I watched Texas go through one, and it was a mess, so bad that the people of the state voted to keep the old constitution, it made more sense and kept the power with the people.
My understanding of a Constitutional Convention, anything goes, its not a lets fix this or lets fix that, its wipe out the old and write a new one. I have no confidence in any modern politician in doing this and not messing it up.
Over all the event was fun, there was a full house, which is expected in these events the entertainment was good, though I don't care for country music, the wife thought it was good. Even the food was good, which was not expected at all.
Sorry for the rambling...

I think Fred wants to support Pahoa, so he served food from a business in Pahoa.
