The representative from Hawaii that I agree most on issues are Daniel Kahikina Akaka. [|http://akaka.senate.gov]

The 3 most important issues for me: __1. Health care__ __2. Economy__ __3. Enviroment and Energy__
 * I belive that healthcare should be avalibale and affortable for everyone, and that it should give everyone the same possibility to great healthcare. It should provide great coverege for everyone for less cost. I also think that our seniors should be treated the same way as our youngest citizens, they should have right to the same medicines and the same care.
 * I think that the economy is a very imporatant part in peoples lives and that when there is bad times like these now we should do everything we can to make it improve. We need to look over our spending, and we need to create jobs.
 * I think that we should try to find more renewable resources of energy, like wind, water or solar energy. When we develop our energysources it creates jobs which will help the economy.

Five Facts about Hawaii:
 * 1) In 2001 Hawaii had 27 doctors per 10,000 residents
 * 2) The economy of Hawaii builds mostly on agriculture, tourism, defense industry and industries related to the ocean.
 * 3) In 2003 Hawaii had 1,900,000 pounds of air emissions of toxic Chemicals
 * 4) In 2002 the employment rate for Hawaii stood at 4.2%
 * 5) In 2004 11% of the residents lived below the poverty level

HB 43 -Fair health insurance and care

The bill I'm working on is to improve the country's health care and health insurance. It is to create a system to get affortable healthcare and insurance.

I think that you should vote for our bill because it would be a benefit for everyone to have acces to affortable health care and insurance with as good coverage as possible. It would help create jobs and we would get a healthier country.
