Komo Mai & Aloha...
Welcome, and thank you for joining us on the John McCain Victory Hawaii 2008 blog site. Susan and I are pleased and proud to host this site on behalf of our friend, Senator John McCain, the next President of the United States.
Although it was apparent even back in Hanoi that P.O.W. Lcdr. John McCain was an extraordinary man of principle and courage, I couldn't have guessed he would someday be the President of the United States of America. During some of our quiet, late night talks, when most of our comrades were snoozing beneath their mosquito nets, we would reminisce about our youth and earlier careers, forming a bond of friendship and loyalty that only shared adversity can bring. John McCain is one of the few men who has used up more of his 9 lives than I have.
John McCain has spent literally two careers (over 40 years) in the service of our country, militarily and politically. And as we see his hard work and dedication to his campaign, overcoming tremendous odds to be so close today, it is the very least we can do in dedicating our own energy and priorities these next few months to ensure his (and our) victory.
In these particularly perilous times, for the sake of America and of our children and their progeny, John McCain MUST win. Please join us in helping him do it.
Please join us: Ho'olu komo la kaua!
Warmest Aloha!
Jerry

ALOHA MCCAIN SUPPORTER,
We in Hawaii are truly fortunate to have a man of the caliber and integrity of Captain Jerry Coffee (and his wife Susan) to serve as the Chairman of the McCain2008 Hawaii Campaign.
If you want to get to the know the next President of the United States better, I suggest you get to know Jerry Coffee better over the next intensive 4 ½ month home-stretch of the campaign. One of the best ways to get to know Jerry is to work with him as a walker, waver, donor and phoner and overall mover and shaker for John McCain.
Jerry is a man who has been tested for 7 years under the harshest of prison conditions for his ability to survive physically and his will to live spiritually. He has been through the fire of torture and is now a man of quiet confidence in who is and what is expected of him by both man and God.
So get to know Jerry and you will see in him what it is in John McCain that spells victory as the next President of the United States. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be working with Jerry and Susan in a campaign whose motto is "Unity Over Self," the very words that helped save his life and those of his many companions in that prison in North Vietnam. John McCain's campaign motto and call to all Americans is "Service above Self" and is cut from the same cloth.
So knowing and working with Jerry is a window into knowing John McCain and a rare opportunity for all of us to help elect not only the leader of our country but the leader of the Free World. If I can assist your efforts please feel free to contact me.
Aloha!
Rep. Gene Ward
Co-Chair, McCain 2008 Hawaii
