Despite the overwhelming belief in the spirit of aloha here in the islands, clearly that spirit does not extend to Washington. At the president’s address to Congress on Tuesday, the lack of aloha spirit exhibited by our representatives was appalling.
Hawaii’s U.S. Sens. Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono refused to even show up. If this was their idea of aloha, then we are in serious trouble.

Correction: An earlier version of this letter wrongly said U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono was in attendance for the president’s Tuesday speech before Congress then criticized her for a number of things; however, she did not attend.
