Vote Obama

With Hawai'i's own Barack Ohama fast becoming the Democratic Party's and America's ehoiee for president, this would surely help with the passage of the Akaka Bill. Ohama, who supported and endorsed the reeleehon of U.S. Sen. Dan Akaka, has also openly backed the passage of this hill, as has his Democratic challenger Sen. Hillary Clinton. If Ohama is elected president, Hawai'i will surely benefit, he has 'ohana here and has embraced Hawai'i as his own ... and we embrace him as a keiki o ka 'āina.

It is unreal to think that the next American president may possibly be hlaek and from Hawai'i, the youngest state in the union. Steven ī. Kalani Burke Sr. Pearl City, O'ahu
