Dear Council Members:
On Sept. 21 you will have the opportunity to vote for or against DEMOCRACY. This is not a
vote to determine how much tax money will go into preserving open space. This is a vote
for whether to deny or allow the citizens of Hawaii County to express our wishes at the
polls. In voting on Bill 87, you will express your opinion as to whether the citizens
should be able to make a policy determining how tax dollars or spent, or whether autocrats
should be able to deny the citizens that right once again, in violation of campaign
promises.
Let's be clear: a vote against Bill 87 is a vote in favor of "taxation without
representation ". A vote in favor of Bill 87 is a vote to allow the citizens - the rightful
owners of Hawaii County's government and all it's revenues - to reconfirm or to change our
minds about an issue which we thought we had already decided -- before the mind - readers in
office decided they knew better than the voters how we would choose to vote under changed
conditions. (The very same changed conditions which the 2% ordinance was created in
anticipation of). Please - either let the people decide or openly declare your loyalty to
the principles of Hugo Chavez and Vladimar Putin. Thank you for your vote for democracy.
