\"vote_for_me\"<\/a>Is it just me or is Colleen Hanabusa not showing much class right now?<\/p>\n

I was watching the news tonight and it showed video of Hanabusa supporters handing out water and stuff to people in Puna.<\/p>\n

And they need it.
\nToo many are still without power and clean water.<\/p>\n

But the bothersome part is those Hanabusa people were decked out in\u00a0campaign t-shirts and campaign stickers were placed on everything.<\/p>\n

It was a short video clip but enough for me to mutter, “damn”.<\/p>\n

That baloney was a bit blunt in my book.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s be clear…
\nBrian Schatz folks may be doing the same thing although I didn’t see it in the 3 seconds of quick video of him stacking some ice.<\/p>\n

If he is, then shame on him too.<\/p>\n

What this screams to me is Hanabusa is there to campaign and handing supplies is just part of it.<\/p>\n

Kinda sucks and certainly not anything I would recommend if I was advising her.<\/p>\n

I’d say go help them because they’re our neighbors and they are hurting.
\nLet your actions speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

Just do what needs to be done and keep the politics back in Honolulu.<\/p>\n

I’m sure the Puna folks are grateful for anything they can get right now and the word gets around about who’s helping and who’s not.<\/p>\n

And who’s making-A and who’s not.<\/p>\n

There’s no need to put a campaign sticker on it.<\/p>\n

That’s no class in my book.
\nI like her but she’s made me grumpy.<\/p>\n
