A little background music please…I was born in NYC at about the time dinosaurs roamed the Earth and were the principal mode of transportation. After graduating from a small college on the outskirts of Boston and marrying, I made my way to northern California where I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. Two children and four grandchildren later the voice came once again, "Go west young man, go west". The ants had returned, infesting my pants, and once again, West we went— this time to Hawaii. I decided to run as a delegate to fulfill my destiny. I really never had a doubt I would be selected as a delegate. This is not ego speaking. I had only been living in Hawaii for two years. I did not have deep roots in either the Kauai or Hawaii Democratic Party. To say my state and county political resume was anorexic would be an understatement, yet in the end, how can you argue with destiny? While in California I did work successfully in several County Supervisors races as a campaign strategist and advisor. I was here in Hawaii at the beginning of Senator Obama's Presidential campaign, walking the island of Kauai, going door to door armed only with flyers and my deep personal conviction of Senator Obama’s character.I hosted a gathering at my home which included as guest speakers, Senator Obama's sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, and Hawaii State Campaign Director Andy Winer. We had an enthusiastic turnout of more than 100 Kauai voters— many of whom became volunteers and donors in the campaign. For idealistic reasons, I immersed myself in this campaign. While the world holds its collective breath, we stand as a nation at a pivotal crossroads in writing the history of America. I believe it is time for our nation to send a strong message to all the people who share this planet: we are ready for cooperation and want to work with all global citizens in creating and sustaining a healthy, just and peaceful planet imbued with respect for the rich diversity of the world's many cultures. We stand ready to be a global partner. I am convinced Senator Obama embodies this message.Not only is the election of Barack Obama critical to this end, but we must work tirelessly to support his Presidency through the election of Democrats to Congress who share the vision. I try and swim in the ocean several times a week and walk a couple of miles each day. I am writing a young adult fiction book. I also work with other community leaders on Kauai on issues affecting our island paradise. I do hope that Senator Barack Obama will fulfill his destiny—to become the next President of the United States.
