U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz sent out a request for campaign donations Monday (Feb. 25). Excerpt:
… Hawai`i’s stake in what happens in Washington, D.C. is crystal clear today. That’s why I’m fighting to stop the sequester with a balanced approach, and why I’m more committed than ever to making sure Hawai`i always has the strongest possible voice to keep something like this from happening again.
So, while I’m fighting for Hawai`i in the Senate this week, I need you to stand with me and help kick off our 2014 campaign so we can stay strong today, tomorrow, and every day.
Aloha.
