To the supporters of Mike Gabbard for Congress
Please let’s strive to keep politics clean. Please, let’s not place Mike’s campaign signs all over Kaua‘i in people’s yards without their permission. You’ve crashed Ed Case’s Campaign Headquarters opening, you’ve lied about your identities, tape recorded Ed’s community talk story sessions. While these individual situations are not in themselves illegal, they serve to establish an air of distrust for the two primary Gabbard supporters who are largely responsible, and by association, cast shadows on their candidate, Mike Gabbard.
Mr. Gabbard, as I see it, is a one issue candidate, drawing his support mostly from religious organizations who stand behind his philosophy that same sex marriage and the gay and lesbian community are not normal. I have my own feelings about this issue, but agree with Ed Case that an elected official must represent the people he/she is elected to serve, gay, lesbian, bisexuals, Japanese, Hawaiian, even people who belong to the other political parties.
A politician who enters a race stating that a segment of the population he’d like to represent is abnormal is unlikely to be fair in executing his duties. How could a person such as this swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America? Is it for this reason that he feels the need to campaign in such an underhanded way? You be the judge at the polling booth.
