Well said, Mendo (the bold part). We are at war. All of us. I hope to have a warrior standing next to me on the front line. She is a fighter/warrior for our people. And, for all of you.

"Hate-filled" is a bit much. Angry, perhaps. With reason. One must understand the history of our people to see her cause. If the perception is "hate-filled", you are dead wrong. As kanaka maoli, we show kindness and true "aloha", until provoked.

A warrior for her people, which includes you, Mendo, if you have koko (blood) or not. Since Rice vs. Cayetano suit, ALL people vote, no matter if you are kanaka maoli or not.

Thus, a vote against a warrior, is a vote against our people in my book. We don't need anymore BS from OHA which is full of self serving, politicians. Tired of politicians representing us beneficiaries.

At this juncture, if we all do our homework, OHA needs to change. Drastically. The initial intent of OHA is lost. Mililani understands the needs of our people. After decades of working for ALL of our rights (indigenous people) worldwide, she gets my vote.

JMO.

P.S. Do you vote, and if so, who will you vote for? Just curious. TIA.
