Hawaii voters, please do not vote in the general election for any incumbent Democratic member of the state House of Representatives who voted in 2022 for House Bill 1697: Relating to sexual health education.

This bill sought to require state Department of Education sexual health education programs to restrict information taught in sex ed curriculum in Hawaii’s schools. This bill requires that sexual health topics only include “positive and accurate representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, other sexual orientations and gender identities.”

Teaching about the not-positive aspects would violate the restrictions, although the not-positive consequences for acting on the teaching would still happen in the students’ lives.

The Democrats in the House passed this bill and luckily the Senate did not hear it — yet. Before you cast your vote, please ask the Democratic House candidate on your ballot how he or she voted on HB 1697. Let’s not give the House members who voted “yes” any more time in office.

"We still have the regular flu 100 years later. Do we want to have those kind of issues governed by emergency powers of a governor? No. The people have the right to have their own political power respected by the Governor and the Legislatures. So the change needs to be made to the constitution," argues attorney Jim Hochberg.

From Hawaii News Now, May 31, 2022.

Civil rights attorney Jim Hochberg, who has filed a legal challenge to the governor’s emergency powers, said the bill doesn’t go far enough.

His suit argued that Hawaii law only allows the governor’s emergency powers to remain in place for 60 days. He added that the Legislature could have stepped-in to end the emergency period -- but didn’t.

“Well, it was pretty clear from the massive continuing protests that people didn’t agree. But because it was a governor using executive power, they had no voice,” Hochberg said.

Are you be called to run to office?  Do you know someone who should run for office?

Many candidates for public office don’t think of running until someone else suggests they would make a good candidate.  In order not to miss out on the opportunity to have a good candidate for you to vote for in this upcoming election, we want to invite you to a seminar to learn how to recognize a good potential candidate, and then how to help them win.
