McCain "Kokua" Campaign Kick off

John McCain calls upon us to "dedicate our lives to a cause greater than self." He has been an inspiring example of this philosophy. In keeping with this call, his Hawaii supporters announce the John McCain "Kokua" Campaign. It is the anti big money, big lavish party, big influence of donors approach to politics. It is in stark contrast to the way McCain's opponent chooses to spend his time in our islands, but it fits into McCain's belief in honoring commitments to our country, our state and the people who have to work hard to make ends meet in Hawaii's over taxed environment, with skyrocketing costs for energy, food, and doing business. He honored his pledge to take public funding and promise not to be in the pocket of any special interest. Obama went back on his promise only to rake in more in special interest $$$s.

The Kokua Campaign is one of community service, giving back to Hawaii. John McCain's supporters, many retired veterans, get just what that means, because they've lived kokua - helping in unselfish ways. Join our Kokua campaign for John McCain - promising no personal gain but to make a difference in the land we love.
