From: WEWoodsMPH Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 03:08:43 EST Subject: Misleading, fraudulent, criminal??? - Hawaii PAC Investigation Aloha Folks, The investigation into the Campaign Spending Report for a political organization calling itself Save Traditional Marriage and the fact that it was "hosted," organized, and conducted through a solicitation campaign by a so- called non-political action organization called Hawaii's Future Today is bearing a new understanding. Many of you that have been following the recent actions, complaints and identification of complaints will appreciate this new bit of information that was sent in by Saturn of Honolulu who has been trying to help us get to the bottom of this mess. The solicitation letter received by Saturn of Honolulu is copied for you below in its entirety. We now believe that when all the businesses we talked with said they knew nothing about a political fundraiser that they were all probably speaking complete truth. Please judge for yourself by reading the letter sent to at least one business - if not all - if you received it. Would you know that Mr. Jack Hoag and George Shea and Hawaii's Future Today were soliciting political action money to support a political campaign that supports an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution that would eliminate one class of people from the equal protection clause of that constitution. Would you know that if you spent $200 to attend these events that your $200 would be put down on a public political action report as a $200 contribution to their cause??????? Hmmmmmmm Mr. Hoag is the Chair of Hawaii Reserve's Inc. property management company for all Mormon-owned properties in Hawaii. Over view: Another letter dated two days later have been publicised as the solicitation letter that was used. It did not mention the event was a political action event, but it did say that proceeds would be given to Save Traditional Marriage 98. What is clear from a copy of a letter actually sent to solicit businesses that their solicitation was different than one publicized. A lot will be happening this week to move this effort to the fore for the public to take notice and action against such practices that jeopardize and harm our political process. Get ready - and become a part when we need your input and help for the rest of the investigation. Do good William E.
