Report: More Jobs Lost, What Does Hanabusa Have to Say for Herself?
By News Release @ 11:27 AM :: 7256 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Washington- After months of rubber-stamping reckless spending and job-killing legislation, reality finally caught up with Hawaii Democrat Colleen Hanabusa and her Washington friends. The final jobs report before Election Day showed another month of high unemployment at 9.6 percent, marking it almost a year and a half since unemployment has been under nine percent, signaling major problems for any Democrat on the ballot in November.

Rep Jessica Wooley admits her van involved in thefts of campaign signs, blames volunteers
By News Release @ 4:23 PM :: 11695 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment
|
...police reported the car was registered to my opponent, Rep. Jessica Wooley, and her husband. When police called her, she did not deny her car was there and said it must have been a volunteer, but that she didn't know who it was. She also claimed to have only taken the signs down and left them in front of the house, but as we reported, the signs were stolen and thrown into her van. Someone mysteriously returned signs at the place they were stolen with a note saying the property caretakers didn't want the signs up. But these were not the same signs stolen from the property and we confirmed with the property caretakers that they indeed supported our campaign and wanted a sign in their home.

Djou: HR2378 will hurt Chinese tourism in Hawaii

“No one denies that the current valuation of Chinese currency is troubling and remedial actions must be taken. While I support a free-floating currency exchange between the United States and China, this legislation will not affect the trade deficit and will not create American jobs. Instead, this bill would hurt more than it would help our nation and Hawai‘i.
“This measure will harm U.S.-China relations, hurt international commerce and, most troubling for Hawai‘i, impair the emerging Chinese visitor market in Hawaii."

“Instead of taking the simple step of offering small businesses the assurance that their taxes will not go up in a matter of months, this bill deepens our nation’s debt and provides no long-term incentives to create jobs.

Recent news has shown that the Democrats’ healthcare takeover continues to grow more unpopular among the American public as it stunts job growth, imposes even more new taxes, and strips working families of their existing healthcare coverage. While the White House once claimed to be campaigning on ObamaCare, it now appears that Democrats like Hanabusa are running away from the healthcare takeover that they once supported.
