Subject: TESTIMONY NEEDED - Parental Rights Hearing on Tuesday

Aloha Federation Ohana,

As noted in my alert message on Thursday night, we have a bunch of hearings coming up on Tuesday. I didn't get to pick the hearing dates and times on these hearings, but we can still get them done if we work at it.

We need to get these testimonies submitted by the end of the night on Sunday, February 4, which is tomorrow.

I'm sending this email requesting testimonies for House Bill 1928, Relating to a Right to Parent for Blind Persons. Here's the hearing info:

Tuesday, February 6, 2018
8:30 AM
Conference Room 329
State Capitol
415 South Beretania Street

It is perfectly legitimate to send in the same testimony you wrote for the hearing on January 31, but the only difference is that we need to put the new dates, rooms, bill numbers, and names on it. I have attached a template testimony to this email. Feel free to use it just like this or change it to your liking.

These testimonies can be submitted by emailing them to HHStestimony at capitol.hawaii.gov<mailto:HHStestimony at capitol.hawaii.gov> or send it to me so that I can forward it.

If you don't have time to write a testimony and want me to put your name and address on one, just send me your name and address and ask me to put your info on this template and submit it.

I want to make this as easy as possible. If you do submit via email to the committee, please do Cc me just so that I can keep count on how many are submitted.

Please call, text, or email me if you have any questions.

Mahalo nui loa!

Subject: ALERT: More Hearings on Tuesday

Aloha my Federation Ohana,

I received three (3) hearing notifications today, which told me that we have three (3) hearings on Tuesday for our legislative priorities. Our equality is catching on like wildfire, and all we have to do is submit written testimony and show up in person to keep the fire burning.

I just got home from Washington Seminar and haven't even had time to thank everyone who submitted written testimony and attended the hearing yesterday for Senate Bill 2208, Relating to a Right to Parent for Blind Persons. We had some opposition, but our friends on the Senate Committee on Human Services were able to help us overpower them. They will come back to fight again, and we have to take their threat seriously.

On Tuesday, February 6, there will be three (3) public hearings on our bills. There will be one hearing for the parental rights bill in the House Committee on Health and Human Services. We will need testimonies submitted again, and this should be pretty similar to yesterday's hearing.

There will be hearings in the House and Senate committees on labor for subminimum wage legislation. I am researching and strategizing with our allies in order to put together the best plan of action.

I will be back in touch tomorrow with more direction and templates for testimony.

Please, let's be ready to submit testimony!

Mahalo nui loa,

Justin
