Letter from Thomas Dalbert re HB444

Thomas Dalbert, Wai`anae resident

Date: Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Aloha Maile,

I'd like to thank you for your well-written, unemotional blog entry and your courage to re-state one more time what HB444 was all about: equality and constitutionality!

I know that you didn't have to do that now that it failed anyway but I'm encouraged to see that there are still politicians out there that are not afraid to speak their mind even if they might lose a few votes.

Mahalo,
Thomas Dalbert, Wai`anae resident
