Congratulations!! More money for rail is
DEAD
, for now.
As the
ONLY
Republican organization in the Aloha State which fought against the Rail Tax and the Rail Cartel in 2017, the
Hawaii Republican Assembly
(HIRA) and our SuperPAC
HIRA Action
wish to
express our thanks for your support
in this Herculean effort to stymie professional politicians at the State Capitol through activating ordinary citizens from Hilo to Hanalei. HIRA's taxpayer assault on the state legislature kicked okole and led to an historic stalemate over funding rail's multi-billion dollar shortfall.
Today, the State Legislature officially threw up its hands. They started crawling back to their home districts at 1pm today looking beaten and ragged. And
thanks to the resistance of taxpayers statewide
, members of the State House and State Senate were
unable to come to an agreement on how to stick it to you
and your family and your friends, neighbors and co-workers by figuring out how to force you to continue handing over your hard-earned money to the Democrat Rail Cartel.
Sure, Democrats like
Slick Willie Espero
, Traitors like
Beth Fukumoto
and RINO's like
Bob McDermott
joined hands in recent weeks to keep voting for massive increases in the cost of living and
keep trying to
kill off
the American Dream for residents of Hawaii
through even higher taxes and wasteful, unsustainable spending.
But Republicans and conservatives statewide
like you
joined HIRA in fighting back;
even while the Hawaii GOP slept through the past decade
. HIRA never let up, and won't ever stop. Since our founding days as the leaders of Stop Rail Now and the Tax Day Tea Party, HIRA is your one-stop organization for fighting conservative battles from A to Z.
Thanks to you
,
we've kept fighting even as tireless Democrat activists and easily recognizable infiltrators in Republican ranks hoped to slow HIRA down
. It didn't work!
History has been made in 2017.
In a legislative session which began with HIRA's successful toppling of liberal
Beth Fukumoto
as the GOP's minority leader and now ends with the toppling of House Speaker
Joe Souki
, 2017 has shaped up to be
an amazing year for conservatives
. We really can accomplish much when we unite around common goals, like making life difficult for the ruling party. It helps prepare Democrats for life as Hawaii's minority party of the future.
But now the real battle begins.
In fact, unless a special session of the legislature gets called, the war over your wallet moves right across Punchbowl Street from the Capitol to Honolulu Hale.
Puppet politicians like former Republican turned Rail Cartel zombie
Kym Pine-Ryglowski
and her fellow Rail Cartel puppet
Kirk Caldwell
have interpreted today's inaction by the State Legislature as a sick form of PERMISSION to grab even more from you in higher City taxes while preparing to give you even less in return through cuts in services.
If you're a puppet politician like Pine-Ryglowski then, sure, you could maybe
pretend
to call this massive money grab a form of 'leadership'. Through inflating our already unsustainable cost of living in Hawaii, Pine-Ryglowski (
alias Kymberly Marcos Pine
)
wants to make Hawaii even less affordable
, so that special interest groups from the Rail Mafia and Democrat Party can help pay for her million dollar gated community home in West Oahu. Auwe!!
Like sharks smelling blood in the water
, Caldwell and Pine-Ryglowski
won't let the screams of swimmers talk them out of going for the jugular
. Be warned: Caldwell and Pine-Ryglowski's other
eight Democrat colleagues on the city council are just as eager to gobble up your money
.
In modern Hawaii politics, ambitious wannabe puppets have learned that they can sell their souls to Pacific Resource Partnership and the Democrat Party in exchange for political advancement and protection from angry taxpayers. So much money is flowing into the campaigns of sleazy politicians at City Hall and the State Capitol that they are nearly unbeatable at election time.
They ALL believe they can raise enough money from Rail Cartel bigwigs to get away with using their political power to crush opposition and survive any challenge.
But things have started to change.
PRP was
NOT
able to muscle the state legislature into doing its bidding today. So,
with your help
, HIRA will lead the effort to beat the Rail Cartel over at City Hall too.
