1. Self-Sufficiency - a solid foundation built on housing, health (including dental) & education opportunities interlocked into a functional paradigm sustainable over generations. 2) Eeonomie stability - earning a living wage supported

by programs to booster and support aimed to leverage financial needs such as the loan & grants and lowering qualifying ratios. 3) Nationhood building as "National Citizen Based " not tribal race based, all descendants of citizens of the Kingdom (not American citizens living in Hawai'i) 2. I have a diverse background in skill sets and experiences. I spent 10 years in travel, 10 in media: radio, TV, & print and 10 in academia, graduating with Masters in Puhlie Health & Urban and Regional Planning. A business owner & publisher with 50 years in community service: Lieutenant in the Civil Air Patrol, NH Chamber of Commerce Treasurer, Hawai'i Community Development Board building affordable housing, etc. At 8-years-old I won my first art contest & my "Papa ame Wakea" painting has a free educational license to Hawaiian schools. 3. Maunakea is the catalyst for the "Change in status of the Hawaiian Nation", and TMT should never be built, it offers no solutions to pollution & climate change problems. While looking up, helow the planet is dying and there are transmitting satellites above the earths atmosphere ! Our deep cultural & environmental integrity is correct to stop unnecessary disturbance and force the human mind to really put the real value into this planet's needs. Remove the old scopes & redirect humanity in the direction of planet sustainability, a Hawaiian value.
