Dear voters,
How is my candidacy different and unique? Among other things,
1. I am the only candidate who has been willing to give in the candidacy if I can find better quality candidate.
2. I am the only candidate with specific COVID-19 Two track action plan, to control and/or eradicate in Hawaii; so, among other things, Keikis don’t have to wear mask at school.
Last 2 1/2 years of pandemic has revealed lots of flaws in our society.
Especially, pandemic management by the officials was utter failure; and they basically abandoned us since delta invasion. Sadly, Media have been silent and rather in cahoots especially with Josh Green who had caused mass casualties in delta floodgate.
In my Covid two track plan, although tightening our ports with more screening and tests is necessary at the same time, but to control within Hawaii, we want to test everyone altogether, perhaps two weekend days, Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. If not successful, we do it again the following weekends until we eradicate the virus for no case for about 10-14 days for Omicron.
This can be self reported all voluntarily thru mobile app, self isolated if needed, without requiring any lockdown.
2ndly, for travelers coming to the islands, we test them before boarding, and test again following morning after arrival.
If cannot be done before boarding, we test during flight, but mask mandate during the time and until testing in the following morning.
The protocol may be adjusted and changed accordingly as necessary.
And, these methods would become benchmarking and guidelines for possible future invasion by the other variants and microbes.
3. I am the only candidate with specific Media Reform plans. Among others, Journalists Labor Union and Media Mediation Commission for General public.
My plans totally guarantee Media’s 1st amendment, free speech and press.
(But, they may come in only when they make fake news.)
4. I am the only candidate who promote emotional growth among us; and also we want to implement emotional health curricula at our schools.
Hawaii is sick, and we need treatment. Especially, we need more healing from the pain that we have not been consciously aware.
5. I am the only candidate with much bigger picture with more specific plans, in pursuing self-sustainable economic growth.
We are facing stagflation due to pandemic; and boosting economy while diversifying to self-sustainable levels is necessary.
In that, we need to boost transportation; bringing back ferries, making roads like H4, H5 freeways , and connecting Kaena point.
If need quick revenue growth, we may want to bring Las Vegas casino to the islands, but not in Waikiki.
And, affordable housing may not be possible without sufficient revenues no matter how good plans are.
In order to reduce cost of living, we need to sufficiently grow our own foods, make our own goods, produce more cost-effective alternative energy like nuclear power.
As Jones Act alternative, we also want to build US port like in Jonston Island, so we reduce shipping cost to and from Western Pacific regions.
To control ever increasing house price, for example, we want to implement Aloha Score, in addition to FICO score, so non residents cannot buy Hawaii property only with money.
Plz, refer to my plan, Aloha dept and Aloha Court, as well.
We build our own Hawaii nation within Nation.
So, we become independent and interdependent with federal government.
In conclusion, so far, I haven’t found any candidate, who can do better, and also honor and carry on with my plans.
Plz support me, and vote for Richard Kim for your Governor.
Thank you very much.
Posted on May 31, 2022 but modified on June 2, 2022.
Chamber of Commerce Hawaii called me and left voicemail regarding my recent fb post.
So, I sent this email back to them.
Note: Josh Green also (recently) blocked me from his OFFICIAL Lt Governor fb page.
But, as of May 31, 2022, 4:50pm, Josh Green unblocked me. (Now, I can see his fb official page as Lt Governor.) But, Josh Green blocked me again as of June 2, 2022.
“Tricia,
Thanks for reaching out to me again.
You probably did not like my recent fb post, since I claimed it’s voter suppression.
I understand the cancellation might have not been your original intention. But, after canceling the already rescheduled forum, if you (young professionals of your organization) selectively met with a candidate, specifically Josh Green, who had previously refused to attend your forum, plz how do you think I would feel?
As you may know, Media have been boycotting me and my candidacy for Governor, (especially because my Reform plans include Media Reform), by only metioning 3 candidates of their preferential choice, as if they are the only major candidates. Clearly, there exists conflict of interests and voter suppression.
I even requested my own debate to you on the subsequent email, especially because voters and your members have right to know the truth, especially intentional negligence that was committed by Josh Green, but you did not respond to me.
I hope you understand.
Richard Kim
Democratic candidate for Governor.”
Posted on May 24, 2022.
Voter Suppression!
“Democratic Party of Hawaii and Media must show if they included my name on the polls; if so, they must reveal what my numbers are.
If zero, it proves that they did not include my name, since my Facebook followers have been consistently higher than that of Mrs. Cayetano throughout the campaign until now; (currently me 1,438, Mrs. Cayetano 971).
Otherwise, they must show why they did not include my name in the polls.
If so, it’s clear voter suppression, absolutely illegal.”
My probable agendas of Media Reform, if and when I run and get elected as your governor.
Among other things,
1. First, I would ask Media to Reform on their own.
2. I would encourage and help implement or form JOURNALISTS LABOR UNION, (if exists, then strengthen to have more independence in news making), (regardless whatever their contracts with their companies). In that way, the journalists may stand together against the companies’ manipulations, if any, and then they can be more likely (better) in control of their news and articles.
3. I would help implement a Media law, which would rate each Media, journalist, and their each news and article, just like health departments rating restaurants. (But, we would make sure and guarantee their freedom of press.)
4. I would help implement or make Civil Beat lose their non profit status, unless they reform on their own. Because, I have seen they have often produced bias and/or misinformation thru their news and articles, against public interests.
5. If and after Reform, I would help and see if Media can use government funds, according to their views and circulations, if and when they need financial help due to such Reform.
6. If TV stations report like in regular news interviews with officials (e.g. LG Green at Khon2), we require them to disclose their specific sponsor(s) in such (each) news segment at the bottom of their screen, conspicuously at the same time. (Reminder. We make sure and allow their freedom of speech and press.)
7. Media Mediation Commission (may) need to be established, preferably under the prospective, independent “Aloha Dept”, (or by the government, although not preferable). (More discussion may be needed in details)
The Commission would control and manage ratings of each media, journalist, and news article. They would receive any complaint of Media and their reports, and mediate, and further recommend, any corrections and/or sanctions, if necessary. (Only government can sanction them. And, if not yet, all journalists and media should require to have licenses.)
Such records should be a public record.
Note: The basic idea of having the Commission is to require (esp. Mass media) journalists to have and maintain the comparable or similar level of ethics as other professionals like doctors and lawyers.
Folks,
The cases are really going up.
Plz, wear your masks (with N95 or KN95 levels), indoor (a must) and outdoor (crowded spaces).
It’s sad that the officials including Josh Green have already given up and abandoned us for a long time, since delta invasion last year.
Although not as deadly but much more infectious, the omicron variants will continue to hinder our lives and activities for some time, and further, probably more future variants may also likely, unless we reach herd immunity at the global level.
And, Hawaii may likely be one of the last places in the world to suffer this virus damage.
In fighting the virus, the timing may be very important; and so far, I have correctly (mostly) predicted the viral invasion and surge earlier than many other officials.
(Since we cannot disregard our economy, it may be a key for us to implement but titrate or adjust the necessary measures at proper time.)
I have two track plan for the virus management and control in Hawaii, although it may need to be adjusted accordingly depending on the situations. See the current plan at richardkimhawaii.com.
I promise I can definitely manage the virus much better than the current administrations.
Plz, vote for me as your next Governor.
Charlie Iona
I agree. And, we should be careful.
But, in Hawaii, those agressors (e.g. narcissists) often act victims. E.g. Media.
Do you know impact and damage of false propaganda (both positive and negative) by Media’s and Status Quo’s power play?
That’s why I chose NOISE CAMPAIGN, especially because I am basically non-existent in their reports and polls.
Even if I do such, their power play (e.g. mis, dis, un-information) is much bigger than my such noise campaign.
Voters need to know everything what’s going on, as much as possible.
That’s why Hawaii people sometimes realize truth after the elections.
Sometimes, Aloha should be practiced from different angles. Being silent is not always a virue, especially when you have truth.
Yup, the numbers are going up. Be careful everyone!
Aloha.
This is what I wrote on Kai Kahele ‘s campaign, “Hawaii is not for sale”.
“Hawaii was already sold, and so you are.
Very sad that young politician like you succumbed to Status Quo and Media, despite my repeated advice.
Media are now hyping your candidacy, after very much having attacked you when you were (probably) hesitant.
Plz, don’t divide Hawaii people more; it’s shame on you as if you work for all people’s interests.
And, resign from US Congress asap according to Article II, Section 7.”
Why must (should) Hawaii need to have treatment?
Especially for the next coming generations!
Aloha.
Posted on May 11, 2022.
Unless the officials follow my plan to eradicate or control the virus within Hawaii, I cannot disagree with their plan to keep the mask mandate at schools for a while.
(I heard that children are more prone to Omicron than other variants.)
Btw, since we are still at high surge of cases, those vulnerable populations should continue to wear (N95 and KN95) masks, especially at crowded and/or indoor places.
Aloha.
Mrs. Cayetano recently responded.
And, I replied back with this at her fb site.
“Vicky for Governor
Thanks for the kind response.
But, as far as I understood, you withdrew first (including your bio) from the Chamber of Commerce site, (probably not long after our forum at UH and the rescheduling), but many days before Mayor Caldwell’s sudden withdrawal, although, I doubt, you might have already known his withdrawal many days before his announcement.
However, if you still think your withdrawal was due to Mayor Caldwell’s early dropping out, but you are still willing to debate, I can ask Chamber of Commerce to keep the date (June 30, 2022) for our debate, by not canceling it, unless you prefer with other candidates including Josh Green and Kai Kahele. (Since Josh Green already avoided our previous forum and debate, I am not sure if he would still want to attend in the future debate, where I also participate in.)
Aloha.
P.S. As you might have already noticed, Media have been boycotting my campaign for Governor, by literally not exposing me in their reports and polls, probably because my platform also includes their (Media) Reform.”
Sadly, Hawaii was already sold, and we have been suffering from such damage for years, if not generations.
Plz, remember we are sick, and need necessary treatments.
Let’s look at ourselves deeply, and face the reality!
FIRST, let’s build ourselves from within…
Aloha.
I left this comment on Mrs. Cayetano’s page, Vicky for Governor, with my previous post, the comment that I made on her interview with Tom George of KITV4 .
“Aloha, Mrs. Cayetano.
We met at this UH forum together, but you pulled out from our scheduled debate at Chamber of Commerce on June 30, 2022, which was previously confirmed by you.
You owe Hawaii people explanation why you pulled out from the upcoming debate with me.
And also, why were you silent and/or whenever Tom George repeatedly stated as if there are only 3 candidates?
Why do you think you are among the 3 major candidates, and not me included?
If you think you are better candidate than anyone including me, especially in policymaking and plans for future generations, where do you think your plans are better than mine?
Plz, respond specifically for our mutual readers and voters.
Thanks.”
Mrs. Cayetano owes Hawaii people explanations!
This guy, Tom George of KITV4 , is BRAINWASHING innocent Hawaii people with misinformation, as if there are only 3 candidates, by repeatedly stating only three are major candidates.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=370030268506528&id=100064986720034
I dare to tell him I am (may be) better than any of the 3 candidates, in qualifications as well as life experiences.
Their candidates’ promises are basically empty promises without any action plans. Even if they have, their plans are money eating plans, e.g. cannot be done without money and/or collaborations by legislature. Simply, anyone can promise plans, stating only if I have money…gee.
It’s sad that Mrs. Cayetano doesn’t even object Tom George’s repeated statement of 3 candidates, even though she pulled out from our debate with her and Mayor Caldwell at Chambers of Commerce in rescheduled but cancelled event on June 30, 2022.
Mrs. Cayetano owes Hawaii people why she pulled out from already confirmed debate at her side, although was rescheduled far in advance, about 7 weeks in advance.
Aloha
My message regarding Kai Kahele’s running for Governor.
Sadly, in my opinion, Kai Kahele succumbed to Status Quo and Media.
And, he didn’t say, but probably he may also not resign his current position as US Congressman, (even though having been dictated in our Constitution, Article II, Section 7, “Resign to Run” mandate).
I believe he violated his own principles, e.g. pono and kuleana.
I feel especially bad because this election may rather be going into much more divisions among all different racial and ethnic groups in Hawaii, as Status Quo and Media have been manipulating thru many years, if not generations.
Whoever wins this election, we may have to do a lot more work for our unity in Hawaii, especially for our future generations.
Nonetheless, I wish Kai Kahele a good luck in our gubernatorial race.
Aloha.
Regarding Aloha score, emotional health, taxes and tax credits, and revenues…
Among others,
1. Any Hawaii residents and prospective residents, who attend emotional health classes or seminars, offered by State sponsored psychologists and related health professionals, may (could) get tax credits as well as higher aloha score, accordingly, (just like continuing education as Hawaii residents).
2. Any Hawaii residents and prospective residents, who volunteer at prospective multipurpose transitional homeless centers, would be able to improve their (low or damaged?, if any) aloha scores, accordingly (rather quickly, if served longer).
3. Hawaii residents and prospective residents may choose to pay higher taxes (in percentage but not in amounts, depending on the income level), in order to improve their low aloha scores, (since it would help increase the State revenues).
Just some of the ideas…lol.
Aloha.
Josh Green must not be our Governor. Simply because, he would INTENTIONALLY sacrifice MANY human lives again, over money or economy, especially against his conscience as a doctor.
Plz, remember, despite clear evidence, e.g. news on 6/21/2021 and ~5 months of delta variant surge (and also omicron, as a result) and mass casualties, Josh Green and Media have never apologized yet. This may mean it can happen again, if the same situations and opportunities come, Josh Green will do it again, and Media may again be silent.
It’s very serious matter!
Now, it’s official.
I am a democratic candidate for Governor, and will be on the ballot!
Aloha.
I just received cancellation notice from Chamber of Commerce Hawaii, which was rescheduled for June 30, 2022, because both Mrs. Cayetano and Mayor Caldwell dropped out the debate.
I demanded my own forum and debate, instead cancellation.
“Thanks for letting me know.
However, I prefer to have my own forum and debate, since it was already scheduled and rescheduled.
Especially if this is the case that Media were not to invite me for any of future debates, I strongy urge your management to consider and reconsider having my own debate.
We don’t want to play by Media’s rule and fall victim by their mis, dis, and un-information campaign to innocent Hawaii voters.
I hope you understand.
Richard Kim”
People should realize the fact that I am denouncing my opponent Josh Green is very much for people’s benefit, not just for my gain. In fact, I don’t care if I get elected or not.
I am alerting the innocent Hawaii people of this danger, especially because Media are not doing their job correctly, but in fact, they have been in cahoots with Josh Green.
If you don’t see this very important untold news, delta floodgate, (equivalent to crime against humanity), but only want to see the negative side of my such accusation, plz I would dare to claim you are very sick.
Why don’t you want to see the very important thing, INTENTIONAL negligence, that had caused and resulted in hundreds of unnecessary deaths and tens of thousands avoidable infections, especially as a doctor and liaison for COVID-19? Perhaps because, it didn’t happen to you?
That’s why we (you) need to improve our (your) emotional health very much.
Aloha.
Dear Media,
Congratulations on tonight’s Correspondent’s dinner at the White House.
Surely, we must honor our first amendment rights, but at the same time, we must also help you prevent from freely making fake news, especially much only on your favor.
Aloha.
