DHHL is Building Communities with BRIGHT Futures

I just got back from the ground breaking for Ka‘uluokaha‘i - It was so good to see the continuation of Prince Kuhio's vision of ensuring Hawaiians in their own homes on their own land! DHHL is not just building homes they are building communities with BRIGHT futures!

Want an answer to a question..

Aloha!

Don’t you just hate it when someone tells you one thing in private and then says another thing in public. I guess that is why I like the interviews and public forums during campaigns. That is why I am excited and honored to be invited on The Carroll Cox Show, and Insights on PBS as well as the Community Meet & Greet.

Before I continue I want to thank everyone that called into The Carroll Cox Show, because of the numerous calls what was suppose to be a 1 hour interview turned into a 2 hour interview!

If you missed it you can hear the podcast here: http://carrollcox.com/Show072714.htm

(FYI - Sharon was invited to be on the show but what has been par for the course she was non-responsive.)

Don’t have 2 hours - good news I will be appearing on Insights on PBS Hawaii (CH 10 or Digital HD 1010) this Thursday, July 31 at 8:00 PM . Sharon and Nicole were invited as well & only Nicole is scheduled to appear.

E-mail your questions ahead of time to: insights@pbshawaii.org
Or during the live broadcast call:
973-1000 (Oahu) or
800-283-4847 (Neighbor Islands)

Miss the live show? Watch it on-line the next day at http://www.pbshawaii.org/ourproductions/insight.php

In case you want to know where I stand on any other issues that may not be covered in either of these forums, you have a couple of options:

1. Come to the Community Meet & Greet on Saturday, August 2 from 3 - 5 PM at Kapolei Regional Park. We will have hot dogs and a bouncy house for the kids and then chili & rice and door prizes for the adults. Grand prize is a round of golf for 2 valued at $800.
2. Email - send me your questions and I will respond. (I will post the question and answer on Facebook & Twitter - as well as the campaign website www.votegolojuch.blogspot.com
3. Social media - post your question there and I will provide my answer.
4. There is the good old phone - call me on my cell - 808-358-4417

This is not a campaign gimmick I truly believe all elected officials should be this accessible and this is just another example that differentiates me from my opponent.


Mahalo nui loa for your time and hopefully your support!

Grow Local – Eat Local

Idea for the day:

Grow Local – Eat Local -  When elected one of the bills I will introduce is a tax incentive bill to encourage people to buy locally grown produce.  This would be done by exempting GET charges on all food items locally grown that are purchase for local consumption.

Please tell me what you think about this idea to encourage eating locally grown produce.

My Response to Star Advertiser & Our Campaign

Aloha,

I had hoped that this campaign was going to be about the issues and not false attacks made-up to cause a distraction.  But after yesterday’s Star-Advertiser article I do have to respond to the false accusations made against me by my opponent.

I have also included a quick video about a great interaction I had with fellow neighbor – about the issues and what my campaign is really about. This was such a great interaction that it made my week!

Mahalo for your time and hopefully your support!

HELP Protect Our Aina!

Aloha friends,

I have started a petition calling upon Aerial Banners, Inc. to stop all their illegal activities here on Oahu!We have very strict sign laws here in Hawaii to ensure that the natural beauty of our island is protected. Therefor there is total ban on aerial banners, but even with this ban this company is violating our laws.

Aerial Banners, Inc.
601 SW 77th Way
Pembroke Pines, Florida 33023
(954) 893-0099
Info@aerialbanners.com
Dear Owners of Aerial Banners, Inc.,

We the undersigned do hereby pledge to boycott and/or speak out against any and all companies, organizations, campaigns and/or individuals that use your services as long as you continue to violate the City and County of Honolulu’s ban on aerial advertising.

We find that we have no other alternative given your company’s recent activities to fly aerial banners in the skies over Oahu, which you did even after receiving warnings from the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu Kirk Caldwell. Please honor and respect the laws of the City and County of Honolulu and do not mar the natural beauty of the island of Oahu with your desire to try and make money.

We look forward to you immediately ceasing your activities in the City and County of Honolulu.

Mahalo,

The undersigned,

Working for ALL

Aloha,

Being a 33-year resident of Makakilo I have seen our community grow into the economic engine that drives our state forward and this has not happened without our growing pains.

What our district needs is a person that will make being their Representative their number one priority and I am that person.
I have volunteered in my district for decades, I know what we need and I know how to make sure we get it. That comes from being the only candidate in this race that has first hand knowledge of how the State works and I will bring that knowledge to the Capitol. 

Take the straightening and widening of Fort Barrett Road, which was supposed to begin this year but thanks lack of support by our current representative the project has been delayed.

Education needs to be a priority not just a talking point - the State is about to open its third library and the legislature has failed to appropriate zero funds for any new positions. These are not the actions that support education.

No full-time worker should require social services to survive, which is why I support a Living Wage.

I trust women and women deserve equal pay for equal work.

I support the rail project (Go Rail Go volunteer) and the Ho‘opili project (member of the Ho‘opili Taskforce) – I am not just talk, I am a person of action.

I have a successful track record of getting things done for my communities, all as a volunteer.

I humbly ask for your support!

Michael Golojuch
