Candidate Forums

[Peter Easterling]

My wife and I attended only one forum last year. It was entertaining and enlightening. First, mahalo, Rene, for making this happen. We left one before the GMO zealots began yelling and interrupting. You had a good idea after that. "Write your questions down and hand them to me and I'll read them to the candidates." An acquaintance boasted how she ended the forum with her interruptions and loud mouth. She was actually nonplussed when I told her how I felt, that yelling support for a non-GMO candidate was foolish. "He is a one-trick pony who will be ineffective in working with other legislators...and further Puna's reputation as a collection of political clowns." I love watching inadvertent comedians though I don't really want them in office (...and now we have Trump who would fit right in here).

I really hope we get the likes of RJ and Daniel "Sockman" Cunningham on stage. Let freedom ring.
