Subject: Strong Support of Resolution #4107
Please support Resolution #4107. We, your constituents, deeply support fully public financed
campaigns (74% of people in Hawaii would like to see this legislation passed) because it will help to
build trust in our democracy with the people that you represent and it will better allow you the liberty to
pass all kinds of progressive legislation for the people of Hawaii.
This legislation is part of a strong movement that is occurring nation wide and by passing this it, Hawaii
will be in the forefront of these progressive measures. On January 3rd, Governor Spitzer of New York
stated: "To neutralize the army of special interests, we must disarm it. In the coming weeks, we will
submit a reform package to replace the weakest campaign finance laws in the nation with the strongest...
Full public financing must be the ultimate goal of our reform effort. By cutting off the demand for
private money, we will cut off the special-interest influence that comes with it."
Please pass this resolution for the future of Hawaii.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Aloha,
Jenny Knippling
President, ASUH-HawCC Democracy Matters
