Auhea ‘oe?
As a Native Hawaiian, do you think your vote makes no difference? Please think again. Native Hawaiians make up twenty-percent of our State population, and yet we are not using our power to make a difference by voting. Only 78,000 of the 210,000 eligible Native Hawaiian voters are registered to vote. And among that small number, even fewer – only about 20% - actually vote.
Hawaiian Vote 2006 is a group of Native Hawaiians, just like you, encouraging other Native Hawaiians to come out to register and vote in this year’s Primary and General elections. This effort is non-partisan – we endorse no particular candidate(s) or political party. We are only committed to Hawaiian empowerment through our voting numbers.
Please join us in this effort to strengthen the voice and power of all Native Hawaiians. We are planning several community outreach programs and events around key dates to achieve our mission. Please hold these dates for Hawaiian Vote 2006 Rallies that will feature voter registration, speakers, plus free music, entertainment and food on the grounds of ‘Iolani Palace:
* Saturday, September 16 – one week before the Primary election.
* Saturday, November 4 – four (4) days before the General election.
In addition, we can become a part of your event.
• We can send voter registrars to your ‘ohana reunion or gathering, special event, concert or canoe races.
• We have voting material, bumper stickers, tee shirts, postcards and signs.
Check out the Hawaiian Vote 2006 radio, television and print advertising for rally and event information. Visit our website at www.hawaiianvote.org for updates. Watch for our sign wavers and banners, and help us spread the word to other Native Hawaiians.
Exercising our right to campaign leads to the vote that puts the future in our hands. We must be part of the electoral process to become empowered. It’s the only way to elect people who will protect our interests as a native people.
Our motto is, “NO VOTE. NO GRUMBLE!â€
E komo mai...please join us today!
Nau ke koho, Na makou ke kuleana!!!
The vote is Yours, The responsibility is Ours!!!
