Today, we overrode a number of bills vetoed by the governor.  One of the bills, was the indentity theft bill, Senate Bill 2803, Senate Draft 1, House Draft 1, Conference Draft 1, which I co-sponsored with Sen. Carol Fukunaga to help protect personal information from identity thieves.

Yesterday, July 7, 2008, a constituent who I met at a Waipahu Town Meeting I coordinated years ago, blessed my capitol office and truck using blessed water in a Koa bowl.  She and I have become friends since then.  In January 2008, I also got a blessing of my capitol office from Shinnyo-en. 

I had a meeting with a constituent who is also a teacher at Waipahu High School.  He is working on a project that encourages people to serve the community.  I shared some of my experiences volunteering for non-profit corporations that serve our community.

We had our bi-weekly Peace Day Hawaii Committee meeting that afternoon.

In the evening, I met with two friends that I have worked with on legislation and campaigns.
