Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

Change, to renew and restore vibrancy to an archaic, long-established, ingrained, complex and networked, behemoth governmental system requires determination, courage, strength – physical, mental and spiritual and the willingness to make personal sacrifices, above and beyond, for the betterment of many. The personal challenge by Governor Neil Abercrombie to achieve excellence and to overcome obstacles, known, unknown and unforeseen, is to be realized by the beneficiaries only when revealed.

THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

“We can no longer wait and hope for life-long politicians to solve our

problems.”

--- Gubernatorial Candidate Duke Aiona, 2014 http://www.dukeaiona.com/

Gubernatorial Candidate Duke Aiona: Candidate, Hawaii State Governor, 2010,

Lieutenant Governor, State of Hawaii, 2002-2010. Judge James R. "Duke" Aiona,

Jr., "Our young people want someone to discipline them and tell them what's

right and what's wrong. They really search for that and they really appreciate

that." SOURCE: BALLOTPEDIA. http://ballotpedia.org/Duke_Aiona
