After seven weeks of tireless weekly visits, the Convention of States Hawaii team met at the capitol on Wednesday, February 27, to distribute the ultimate grassroots information to every Hawaii legislator—the list of COS petition signers in each district!
The final weekly event was captured by volunteers Shelby and Sunny from Olelo videographer services, and it began with a special presentation of the new Convention of States Patriot Pin to Representative Sam Kong recognizing his four years of steadfast support of Article V and the Convention of States mission in Hawaii.
One of several supportive legislators at the capitol, Rep. Sam Kong was recognized by State Director Mark White (pictured left) with the Convention of States Patriot Pin for his four years of steadfast, dedicated commitment as prime introducer in the Hawaii House of Representatives.
Video recorded by KeoKeikalani (Shelby) Billionaire (center, at camera), State Director Mark White meets with the team to kick off the start of the final set of office visits to all legislators.
Of keen interest to all legislators for this final visit was listing of all Convention of States petition signers in their individual House or Senate District. Also included was the still relevant 2016 Surgical Strike Newsletter "The Time Is Now" explaining why Hawaii should pass a Convention of States resolution.
Hawaii's seven-week surge campaign culminated with the distribution of petition signature listings by legislative district.
