Aloha, my Federation Ohana,

We are so blessed to have Senator Josh Green working as our champion on our
bill to secure our right to parent. He has already scheduled us a public
hearing for Wednesday, January 31, at 2:45 pm at the State Capitol. The
hearing room information is in the attached template.

I have attached a template which can be used to provide your written
testimony. You don't have to use this template if you don't want to, but
this template will, at least, make it easy to submit your testimony. You can
do as little as just editing the end to have your name and address, and
perhaps choosing "them" or "us" near the bottom, too. 

For my own testimony, I plan to personalize this more, but I figured I'd
give everyone a good, generic starting place. 

I would like to see us get 50 written testimonies submitted by the end of
this weekend. That would really help show them that we care. You can get
testimonies from anyone. In addition to the Federation, I'm getting them
from sighted friends, etc. 

If you would like to send me your testimony, I can submit it as part of the
stack of testimonies. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Mahalo nui loa,

Justin
