Save the Date: Adrienne’s Next Fundraiser is on November 29, 2009!

United we stand, divided we fall, so let’s all get together!

In the face of 55 years of entrenched one-party rule in the state of Hawaii it is critical for all of us to be united.  Republican, Democrat or Independent, we all know that if the one-party rule of this state is allowed to return with a Democratic governor, change will never happen.

The change and reform initiated by Governor Lingle must be continued!  We must never give up!

Please join my on November 29th, 2009, three days after Thanksgiving, for a lovely evening of heavy pupus and wine.  We will have Republican candidates from across the island speaking about how we can move forward and really implement the change we need in our beloved Hawai’i.
