Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Good morning Tom
Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead
Ill give you a call later so we can meet up re $$ Good luck getting more space for your signs starting today now that a lot less people are running in Ewa -)

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time
Mahalo
ERIC
Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents

HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this

needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky

It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

So I guess the choice in the district is between a Complete Loser and a Total Airhead Wow lucky I no live there

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

WOW-
If you are tired of unions fleecing our residents in Hawaii then Mel K for council would really be a bummerread this on himhttpwwwhawaiifreepresscommainArticlesMaintabid56articleTypeArticleViewarticleId3257Honolulu-Council-Special-Election-Mel-Kahele-Waimanalo-Gulch-and-other-baggageaspx
Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob
I can win this race if tea partiers stick togetherMel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand againstthose two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece usthe union thug of all thugs known to this day

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Eric-Out of these emails- have the people who have asked to be unsubscribed been purged Voter Contact said the shutdowns was because we were adding emails onto the list they provided- so is this list just the voter contact list or does this list have your added emails to it We do not want to use your added emails- only the original file from Voter ContactVoter Contact said they do this all over the country and have never had a problem- they said it is all because we added to their listthanks

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

I have offered jobs to people for johns job and your job based on john saying he is going to the city council with you You hiring people who did not help on your campaign is going to hurt you politically and says a lot about your loyalty to people who support you Decide wisely At this point I do not want to renig on my offers to others I made decisions based on what was told to me Good luckKym

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement Do you want them to start earlier than we talked If I need to exit now I can as well so you can formulate your plan of actionI am flexible Did John want to have my position

From Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan ltericstudioryancomgtSubject RE GOLLNERTo Tom Berg lttomberg00yahoocomgtDate Sunday January 2 2011 1248 PM
HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this
Page 2 of 4
7232011
needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

This is the very reason why you should not send this out The only handout you should send at this point is a pro berg piece We will work on this with the assumption that cabanilla will win We will not send out if she does not AGAIN--if you continue to not listen to experienced advice you will loose again Eric and I are very close to giving up on you You are your own worst enemy AFter saturday we will go over possible mailers once we know who your opponent it Kym

Good morning Tom
Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead
Ill give you a call later so we can meet up re $$ Good luck getting more space for your signs starting today now that a lot less people are running in Ewa -)

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

So I guess the choice in the district is between a Complete Loser and a Total Airhead Wow lucky I no live there

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

I am crafting a press release to go out today to couple the email blast list I purchased to 4200 residents on the Leeward Coast- announcing the new website- and the opening statement page- by Ericplease consider making inputthanks Tom
I say once the website and email blast msg is ready- we do a press release with that info links in there and kick some assa third party quote for Tom could be in a press release-When it comes to actually knowing the issues and the who what where when how and why of what needs to be done Tom is that source- that go to guy that gets it resolved so we can tackle the next problem
My involvement working for elected officials on the Ewa Plain for the last eleven years for the benefit of West Oahu is well documented Those that know me can agree its all about finding that win-win solution on everything that challenges us If the voters want that 247 coverage of resolving problems that I carried out for others in the State arena extended to the council seat for the city they know that committing their support to my run is about them our community and team play Tom Berg

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

I am crafting a press release to go out today to couple the email blast list I purchased to 4200 residents on the Leeward Coast- announcing the new website- and the opening statement page- by Ericplease consider making inputthanks Tom
I say once the website and email blast msg is ready- we do a press release with that info links in there and kick some assa third party quote for Tom could be in a press release-When it comes to actually knowing the issues and the who what where when how and why of what needs to be done Tom is that source- that go to guy that gets it resolved so we can tackle the next problem
My involvement working for elected officials on the Ewa Plain for the last eleven years for the benefit of West Oahu is well documented Those that know me can agree its all about finding that win-win solution on everything that challenges us If the voters want that 247 coverage of resolving problems that I carried out for others in the State arena extended to the council seat for the city they know that committing their support to my run is about them our community and team play Tom Berg

WOW-
If you are tired of unions fleecing our residents in Hawaii then Mel K for council would really be a bummerread this on himhttpwwwhawaiifreepresscommainArticlesMaintabid56articleTypeArticleViewarticleId3257Honolulu-Council-Special-Election-Mel-Kahele-Waimanalo-Gulch-and-other-baggageaspx
Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob
I can win this race if tea partiers stick togetherMel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand againstthose two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece usthe union thug of all thugs known to this day

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses

I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

In this way- if we create the template for each board in advance- filling in the meat for each is a snap The backside will always be some photos and such hodgepodge - fluid- but the front side will be concrete format and here is my thinking- see attached example- so Eric- I want to hire you- we need to talk your hours and salary stuff- but absolutely I must have you control my email account- website- both Council govt and Council campaign websiteswe will have one for eachand the flyers - four neighborhood board reports a monthcan you master that for the team Director of Communications Director of Media Relations You make the calldecide what ever title you want bro

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement Do you want them to start earlier than we talked If I need to exit now I can as well so you can formulate your plan of actionI am flexible Did John want to have my position

I do not send aides to meetingsI attend them all myself- so if we are to be loyal to John and help him-such would be from your office where he would get some exposure on the front
I was planning on hiring team players that could help us bothour mission at hand- it would be very distressful to me to hire John who would be doing his own thing for 2012 leaving me shorthanded -

From Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan ltericstudioryancomgtSubject RE GOLLNERTo Tom Berg lttomberg00yahoocomgtDate Sunday January 2 2011 1248 PM
HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this

FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync
Please apprise ThanksTom

In my efforts we are always a team and to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord for House I will need all 4 staffers in my office focused on BERGs reelection efforts I do not have the networksupport base yet like you do to offer a staff position whereby that person is using their time running themselves for their own accordI need all staff committed to the BERG front I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts - I am not at your level where I can forfeit that position and be shorthanded to help JohnI go to all my meetings- John would never get the stage with meout there to promote and to groom him like you can from your office I am puzzled why you would not want to help John get elected in 2012 utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure- as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible
I do not send aides to meetingsI attend them all myself- so if we are to be loyal to John and help him- such would be from your office where he would get some exposure on the front

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead
Ill give you a call later so we can meet up re $$ Good luck getting more space for your signs starting today now that a lot less people are running in Ewa -)

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)

Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents

From Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan ltericstudioryancomgtSubject RE GOLLNERTo Tom Berg lttomberg00yahoocomgtDate Sunday January 2 2011 1248 PM
HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this

needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader

Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky

It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

WOW-
If you are tired of unions fleecing our residents in Hawaii then Mel K for council would really be a bummerread this on himhttpwwwhawaiifreepresscommainArticlesMaintabid56articleTypeArticleViewarticleId3257Honolulu-Council-Special-Election-Mel-Kahele-Waimanalo-Gulch-and-other-baggageaspx
Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob
I can win this race if tea partiers stick togetherMel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand againstthose two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece usthe union thug of all thugs known to this day

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Eric-Out of these emails- have the people who have asked to be unsubscribed been purged Voter Contact said the shutdowns was because we were adding emails onto the list they provided- so is this list just the voter contact list or does this list have your added emails to it We do not want to use your added emails- only the original file from Voter ContactVoter Contact said they do this all over the country and have never had a problem- they said it is all because we added to their listthanks

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

I have offered jobs to people for johns job and your job based on john saying he is going to the city council with you You hiring people who did not help on your campaign is going to hurt you politically and says a lot about your loyalty to people who support you Decide wisely At this point I do not want to renig on my offers to others I made decisions based on what was told to me Good luckKym

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement Do you want them to start earlier than we talked If I need to exit now I can as well so you can formulate your plan of actionI am flexible Did John want to have my position

From Eric Ryan - Studio Ryan ltericstudioryancomgtSubject RE GOLLNERTo Tom Berg lttomberg00yahoocomgtDate Sunday January 2 2011 1248 PM
HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this
Page 2 of 4
7232011
needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Good morning Tom
Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead
Ill give you a call later so we can meet up re $$ Good luck getting more space for your signs starting today now that a lot less people are running in Ewa -)

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

On Sun Nov 21 2010 at 808 AM Tom Berg lttomberg00yahoocomgt wroteIf Pine gets this- she would fire meso this is a discussion between usI am seriously thinking of the credibility of the tea party and what we stand forif Pine comes out backing Bob- then the tea party here has lost all legitimacya farce it will be
WOW-
If you are tired of unions fleecing our residents in Hawaii then Mel K for council would really be a bummerread this on himhttpwwwhawaiifreepresscommainArticlesMaintabid56articleTypeArticleViewarticleId3257Honolulu-Council-Special-Election-Mel-Kahele-Waimanalo-Gulch-and-other-baggageaspx
Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob
I can win this race if tea partiers stick togetherMel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand againstthose two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece usthe union thug of all thugs known to this day

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement Do you want them to start earlier than we talked If I need to exit now I can as well so you can formulate your plan of actionI am flexible Did John want to have my position

HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this
Page 2 of 4
7232011
needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case
Here are the new files wwwstudioryancomtom_berg
By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead
Ill give you a call later so we can meet up re $$ Good luck getting more space for your signs starting today now that a lot less people are running in Ewa -)

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

My involvement working for elected officials on the Ewa Plain for the last eleven years for the benefit of West Oahu is well documented Those that know me can agree its all about finding that win-win solution on everything that challenges us If the voters want that 247 coverage of resolving problems that I carried out for others in the State arena extended to the council seat for the city they know that committing their support to my run is about them our community and team play Tom Berg

I have been on the same page from the beginning I have never promised an endorsement I have always promised help and support and have been very clear of what I consider a serious campaign My conversation with tom on the phone yesterday made it clear that he was looking at a campaign of signwaving No fundraising He was doing this because he didnt like the candidates This is not a winnable campaign strategyKym

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob
I can win this race if tea partiers stick togetherMel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand againstthose two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece usthe union thug of all thugs known to this day

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it

Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail

I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents

Rep-When we have our bills ready- can you do a show with me for my series- FOR EWA TODAY on the Leeward Coast- this is an opportunity where we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for resolve- especially trafficI have those 6 bills dug up to advance we discussed last week Thursdaywe could tape in the studio end of January- but has to be before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
In my efforts we are always a team and to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord for House I will need all 4 staffers in my office focused on BERGs reelection efforts I do not have the networksupport base yet like you do to offer a staff position whereby that person is using their time running themselves for their own accordI need all staff committed to the BERG front I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts - I am not at your level where I can forfeit that position and be shorthanded to help JohnI go to all my meetings- John would never get the stage with meout there to promote and to groom him like you can from your office I am puzzled why you would not want to help John get elected in 2012 utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure- as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible
I do not send aides to meetingsI attend them all myself- so if we are to be loyal to John and help him-such would be from your office where he would get some exposure on the front
I was planning on hiring team players that could help us bothour mission at hand- it would be very distressful to me to hire John who would be doing his own thing for 2012 leaving me shorthanded -

On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this

needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync

I do not send aides to meetingsI attend them all myself- so if we are to be loyal to John and help him- such would be from your office where he would get some exposure on the front

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up

Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed

I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way

You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Tom it has to be simple----i disagree with you on this--the photo of lt gov and todd is key to kapolei and waianae---ericthe only picture i would put in would be a small one of me and tom and Representative Kymberly Marcos Pine endorses Tom Berg for council
tom you have 5 seconds to get your point accross before they trash your photoyou MUST listen to eric and I on this one

Eric-Out of these emails- have the people who have asked to be unsubscribed been purged Voter Contact said the shutdowns was because we were adding emails onto the list they provided- so is this list just the voter contact list or does this list have your added emails to it We do not want to use your added emails- only the original file from Voter ContactVoter Contact said they do this all over the country and have never had a problem- they said it is all because we added to their listthanks

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win

In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement Do you want them to start earlier than we talked If I need to exit now I can as well so you can formulate your plan of actionI am flexible Did John want to have my position

HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this

needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync

Ill do what I can But this is an illustration of the need for building the classic campaign team of volunteers donors inner circle Many campaigns have volunteers andor staff dedicated to social networking (advancing their candidates agenda while defending against attacks) At the risk of sounding preachy you are picking fights with Espero with each video you post and re-post The consequence is having to direct resources to those skirmishes I venture to guess that most of his friends that are seeing this back-and-forth live outside SD20
It is imperative that you convert your years of contacts into volunteers donors and even FB defenders Create your digital rolodex of every person you could recruit to be a volunteer andor donor Look up their contact information if you dont have it Grow that e-mail list find them and turn them into FB friends canvassers donors etc The West Oahu campaign is not lacking in message but needs more boots on the ground and more money
You know lots of people Tom Now that we live in the information age we need to be able to reach them 247 Please get your databases together so they can be e-blasted direct mailed called and so on We only have seven or eight weeks until election day
Guys- this should be pissing off everybody- please help me Check out my latest to counter his minions
And Daphne- lets pretend I am in a Kentucky prison- according to Espros bill- I can pick the district I want to vote in I cant vote for Aaron Bonar for State Senate in Kapolei because I live in Ewa Beach outside of Aaron Boars district- but if I were in prison- I get the luxury of getting to pick what district I want to cast a vote in Felons get better more choice and front door service- no lines no closed polling places- just get to chose - like having breakfast in bed and picking off a menu-dont like the candidates of where you used to live Just get arrested in the district of your choice and that can be your district of choice- felons get to chose- get choices I on the other hand as a law abiding citizen do not get to chose a districtwhere I live dictates who I get to vote for- not in prison under Esperos scheme- Espero had it where the felon can vote for Espero while in prison if they used to be homelesspick a district of your choosing What a deal

Got the two revisions adding Former to Micah and Brennon
As for the other two anomalies (small white square and missing headshot on cover panel) I think that Acrobat Reader (or Mac Preview) might be playing tricks
To be on the safe side in addition to the print-ready PDFs Ive also uploaded a hi-resolution JPEG of the outside panels for you and for Reskyu just in case

By the way nice to see that Rida took another beating at the polls yesterday Id love to know what Schultz said and did to get people to vote for him instead

Staying putSeptember 30th 2010By ddepledge
State Rep Kymberly Pine (R-Ewa Beach Iroquois Point Puuloa) said today that she does not plan to run for the Honolulu City Council seat being vacated by council chairman Todd Apo in November
Pine had earlier expressed some interest in the seat when Aporsquos term expires in 2012 She said she is concentrating on her re-election campaign to the state House where she faces Jason Bradshaw the political director of the AFL-CIO
ldquoIrsquom not going to run for the City Council in the special electionrdquo Pine said

Instead of moving back to Kailua after the 2010 election Pinersquos opponent Jason Bradshaw can update his signs to read ldquohellipfor City Councilrdquo Once elected he can push for a change to the City Charter which lets the HGEA and AFL-CIO actually become City government and they can appoint their favorite son of color (the half-German Muliufi) to return as our leader
2 R U SeriousSeptember 30th 2010 at 554 pm
Irsquove heard a rumor that our former Mayor may run for this position
3 charlesOctober 1st 2010 at 154 am
Okay if this is true why did Pine take down her Facebook page when asked whether or not she would run for the council seat
Or why wouldnrsquot she simply post on her website that she will under no circumstances run for the council seat and that she fully intends if elected to serve the full term
Oh and Eric Irsquom still waiting for you to post the votes that Bradshaw got in the 2008 election
4 Yoshi1940October 1st 2010 at 1122 am
RU Serious that rumor IS going around Is it just being spread by people who hope that they can have Mufi at any level Do you think that he can get elected He would have to move into the district because isnrsquot he in Aiea and the opening is for the Waianae Coast spot Isnrsquot William Aila the former Democratic Gubernatorial candidate from the Waianae Coast I would think that not only would seeking the Council seat be unbearable for Mufi it would be risky
5 Eric RyanOctober 1st 2010 at 1214 pm
It sure seems like Charles is the anonymous mouthpiece for the Bradshaw campaign as well as a seeming online stalker of Ms Pine
Now Charles why would you wait for a posting about how many votes Bradshaw never received His candidacy in Kailua in 2008 was a BUST (httpthehonoluluadvertisercomarticle2008Jun07lnhawaii806070357html) so he dropped out of the race just like his service on the Neighborhood Board (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831junminhtm) was a BUST (httpwwwhonolulugovrefsnconb310831sepminhtm) because he never showed up and had to be replaced His candidacy in 2008 to replace Tommy Waters is well-established (httphonoluluweeklycomdiary200806filling-tommys-shoes) Your lack of appreciation for Bradshawrsquos failed candidacy is likewise becoming very well established much like everyonersquos appreciation for Bradshawrsquos soon-to-fail attempt to leave behind his recent failed Windward candidacy and go down in flames with his Leeward candidacy

So I guess the choice in the district is between a Complete Loser and a Total Airhead Wow lucky I no live there

Okay ldquoRyanrdquo it seems you canrsquot post how many votes Bradshaw got since now you admit he never ran
Whew that took a while but at least you finally fessed up that you made it up
8 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 436 am
Wow Charles I hope Bradshaw and the AFL-CIO are paying you for such buffoonery The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Weekly both reported that Bradshaw was an active candidate for State House in 2008 Therersquos nothing to admit since you stand ALONE in making the bogus assertion that Bradshaw was not a candidate in 2008 Only you ALONE demand that Bradshaw could only have been a candidate if someone voted for him And only you ALONE are unable to hear the laughter as your bogus definition So was Donovan Dela Cruz NEVER a candidate for mayor in 2010 because he dropped out of that race after several months of running He never received a single vote yet he sure printed a lot of signs banners brochures postcards etc There are dozens of other examples Quentin Kawananakoarsquos congressional candidacy comes to mind How many votes did he get NONE but he was still a candidate Likewise Jason ldquothe dropoutrdquo Bradshaw was RUNNING for office on the Windward side in 2008 Since you are obviously his buddy and his mouthpiece have him show you his brochures and logo from 2008 if he hasnrsquot already And now Jason ldquothe union hackrdquo Bradshaw (aka Jason ldquoletrsquos raise the GETrdquo Bradshaw) is running as Jason ldquothe carpetbaggerrdquo Bradshaw So Charles itrsquos time for YOU to fess up that your sad attempt to redefine Bradshawrsquos 2008 candidacy has FAILED utterly failed
9 hipoliOctober 2nd 2010 at 1020 am
I missed something What is this big stupid beef over Jason Bradshaw please Its pretty clear to me the man only pulled papers to run amp never actually filed You arent a candidate until you actually file Eric I have no idea why you keep citing news articles which dont prove your point
Youre messing with the wrong Sir Charles Eric Do yourself a favor ndash and accept that hes smarter and knows more than you about just about everything Trust me its just easier that way
10 Eric RyanOctober 2nd 2010 at 602 pm
You DID miss something Hipoli and you should have stopped there No amount of ad hominem can make up for your deficient knowledge of the debate or the subject matter Go back to earlier postings on this blog and yoursquoll see that your associate ldquocharlesrdquo (like you sadly) cannot come to terms with the reality that with Hawaiirsquos LATE filing deadline for candidates to have their names officially placed on the ballot a candidate can be running a race for months before ever filing with the Elections Office With the sorry twisted and self-interested logic employed by Hipoli and Charles every candidate who makes an announcement speech (eg ldquoI hereby declare myself a candidate for the office of ______rdquo) is a big fat liar because heshe cannot possibly be a candidate and cannot possibly be running for office and cannot possibly be raising money and cannot possibly be promoting their candidacies because they havenrsquot turned the form needed to have their name printed on the ballot Shibai shibai shibai I though Derrickrsquos blog was a place for honest interchange not faceless losers with sophomoric arguments and axes to grind

I didnt know you had made the desicion and I thought you were waiting until after the election to do so
So this certainly does clear things up
I certainly thought that we had identified nothing but good reasons for you to run now and only one factor that would prevent you from doing so for which I thought we had two very good responses
I see that I was mistaken but I also see that this statement makes things much easier for the campaign thats in front of us right nowOn Thu Sep 30 2010 at 1137 AM Kymberly Pine ltkymberlypinegmailcomgt wrote

Kym
Im glad to hear your thoughts I completely agree with your very last sentence and totally agree about Toms winning angle (INCLUDING MAKING PHONE CALLS amp IDING VOTERS TOM) but I am having a bit of trouble with the Bob McDermott thing
Bob McDermott is a charlatan who is seeking a deal and will say ANYTHING to you and or the party (EITHER PARTY) to get what he wants And after what he has been doing HOW do we not see that I am asking you please do not support Bob McDermott Ive been loyal to you since the beginning and Bob McDermott is loyal to NO ONE
Tom
You MUST agree that you are in this race to WIN
You MUST agree that while you are NOT going to compromise your values you ARE GOING TO HAVE TO compromise with us when it comes to your STRATEGY
I can sum it up like this Youre going to have to agree to run a Kym Pine campaign Period No one will ever ask you to sayor do anything you dont believe but you are going to HAVE TO do some things (strategy-wise) that you dont currently believe IN

Hey Tom I understand the frustration But lets say that if you did raise $10-15K you could do a major mailer And that amount is not unheard of when you consider the big bucks that always flow to council races Two mailers would be even better the first week of December (to lay down a marker) and the second week of December (before early voting starts on December 13th and ballots arrive in peoples mailboxes that day)
I have not sent this email to Rep- but she should be called out-lets pretend I sent this
Rep-Glad to see your choices of Celeste L- an anti Tea Partier- a non TEA PARTY candidate pro DEM- and Bob McDermott- also a NON Tea Party candidate win you over- I hope both of them contact you about how many phone calls they made each day to raise moneythat $$ guides you not principalRep I am your TEA PARTY candidate period I am your candidate Your other two leanings are NOT TEA PARTIERSthey are against usfor you to align yourself with the OTHERS for blood relations or prior commitment- that is ok- but please remember- I am that only one TEA PARTY candidate- you can back that or shun it Your callAll is wellTom

Tom
You have my full endorsement and you can put that in any format you want
I will not support Bob McDermott regardless of what his campaign looks like vs what your campaign looks like
Bob is on the record supporting our opposition and was ON THE LIST as a Democrat contender in Democrat Region 7 (our area)
Nothing any other candidate does or any lack of what you may or may not do will change why you deserve our full support
Im not trying to be contentious I just thought this was the page we were all on

WOW-
If you are tired of unions fleecing our residents in Hawaii then Mel K for council would really be a bummerread this on himhttpwwwhawaiifreepresscommainArticlesMaintabid56articleTypeArticleViewarticleId3257Honolulu-Council-Special-Election-Mel-Kahele-Waimanalo-Gulch-and-other-baggageaspx
Whats even more striking is Bob McDermott- a Mufi man they run in the same union pack feed off the same trough Bob is claiming to be a Republican and all the while refused to help Duke- and refused to help Charles in the time of need as I understand itBob M to my analysis refused to be seen with the Tea Party movement here and shunned itthese two-Mel and Bob should be the last two candidates any true tea partier would backso the link between Mufi Bob and Mel is alive
I am getting folks coming out of the woodwork who supported Rep Pine to offer help with my campaignhowever I will certainly lose their support and possibly the election once they find out Rep Pine does not support me Who does Rep Pine support they might askif the answer is Bob the guy who held signs for Mufi treated Tito like shit and embraced Espero that says a lot about me and my standing in this paradeEdlynn and I are shocked that tea partiers would even consider a Bob M for councilshocked
If it becomes known Rep Pine supports Bob- a Mufi man a union rollover an anti Duke guy what will that do to our message -cohesion our unity our tea party movement Bob M is for Bob Mhe never helped us never helped our causehe went into hiding when he did not get his wayand now he has resurfaced but is the same Bob- for Bob about Bob and in it for Bob
I can win this race if tea partiers stick togetherMel and Bob represent everything I as a tea party stand againstthose two backed the worst of the worst- MUFI antics where unions fleece usthe union thug of all thugs known to this day

I am going to stay in the race whether folks I assumed would endorse me do such or not and stay in the fight whether money flows in or notI will stick to my principles and offer voters a choice If money comes in- a mailer is a given I agree- a mailer will win it for the one that executes the most of themEspero cannot raise $$ as his tribe is Mels tribe is Bob Ms tribe is Celestes tribe and Rose too same clanthey all feed at the same trough So I see the DEMS in this race going sideways The one real possibility for me to win is to have a sound backing of all conservatives- from Djous Dukes Lingles Titos and Pines team Mathematically we can pull this off if we stick together and do not waiver and unite I am willing to do that The calling begins 11-1 each day as I will use my cell phone and be under your wing Have faith Rep- we can do this even if the $$$ does not pour in- but our numbers as a whole can triumph over the split factions of DEMVILLE
My action plan is to just get the engines started- doing all I can Folks can take the wheel take the drivers seat and shape this run all they want- I am not stopping anyone from taking over and leading the route- I am ready to take off in the direction of a winning team for I cannot do this alone but will still attempt to do for all the right reasons ThanksTom

I exhausted the list before and the day after Thanksgiving- you saw my website contributions- and by telephone calls- got $500 So roughly $700-$800 came inI am moving as fast as I can That is why the email blasts and website tweak polishes off the pursuitwhen one wants to know more- they ask to see my website- my intro is weak- I have so much volunteerism and service not on the homepage tat distinguishes me from the othersso I have a sign waving schedule and so far only one email blast sent out I need to be sending emails out every few days regularly to capture and expose- I would not contribute to myself after looking at my intro page either from the websitelegislative aides are minions and that is what I am- need to resell the package as I outlined in the tweaks to compete in my opinion If money was coming in there would be radio and mailers I am broke- and cannot afford the up front out of pocket this time
So the best thing would be for you to mail me the data for the voter contact list- and if can the omitted file purging the unsubscribed- and I will formulate my daily blasts selling myself and asking for money that way toorelying on phone calls only will certainly not win- the email blasts need to transpire too and that is not happening

Tom you havent replied to six e-mails over the past week in which Ive asked for an update on fundraising activityresults and for info about your campaign timeline (esp schedule of mailers and possibly radio) This is very serious stuff
In the meantime Ive sent my own e-blasts to thousands on my own mailing list which were designed to make Bob McDermott less viable with Republicans a move which is succeeding and has yielded $$ for you
I also delayed billing you (and Kym and Tito) for the 2010 campaign in order to free up resources for this special council effort
Ive been helping you with no money upfront based on assurances that you are going to dedicate several hours per day everyday to fundraising But I have no idea whats going on
There is a strong actually very strong correlation between a candidates dedication to fundraising (not-to-mention his volunteer operation) and the motivation of others involved in the campaign
Your major opponents are dialing for dollars and are meeting with prospective contributors to ensure that they can afford to stand out among the 14 candidates Im getting the distinct feeling that Berg for Council is the exception among major candidates in this race
If you want my help you cannot drop the ball on something we agreed on Youve got to actively pursue the money chase The money is there to be raised But it wont come in unless you pursue it
Even if one or two or three candidates are kicked off the ballot (extremely unlikely) a city council race is an expensive one to win Thats why I provided you with fundraising tools and coaching early on
I am happy to help but not if you dodge my repeated inquiries about fundraising and about the campaign timeline Time is short and the candidate who takes this race the most seriously -- not the issues but the actual race -- will prevail
I tried to downplay Kyms frustration over the past few weeks But now Im feeling it too
Days from now people will be able to vote One month from now its all over Critical mass will not be achievable through merely signwaving and e-blasting to a very limited list A single appearance on public radio will not do it either Nor will the addition of a news story about an industrial park You need to boost your name ID and reputation in HD42 HD43 Kapolei and right up the Leeward Coast It cannot be done on the cheap
Without the insights of a report on how fundraising is going neither I nor Kym can help tweak the approach youre using to maximize returns You have the script and the initial set of contacts The most important step is asking Several weeks ago you needed to raise $500 to $1000 per day Now you need to raise $2500 to $4000 per day based on my ballparking of the minimum budget needed to win
In my opinion- Berg needs website page tweaked before Candidate forum tomorrow with new stuff I sent to show I am the most involvedthen email blast the draft with either a new provider or to be done by me inhouse - I get list from you and email on my own account using the list purchasedin my opinion need it out now

Eric-Out of these emails- have the people who have asked to be unsubscribed been purged Voter Contact said the shutdowns was because we were adding emails onto the list they provided- so is this list just the voter contact list or does this list have your added emails to it We do not want to use your added emails- only the original file from Voter ContactVoter Contact said they do this all over the country and have never had a problem- they said it is all because we added to their listthanks

Tom --
Nothing is being held up at this end As Ive explained both the iContact account (which I fronted the money for to send your first e-blast) and the Constant Contact account (which I fronted the money for to send your second e-blast) were shut down due to spamming complaints after these blasts went out
As Ive also explained this is the risk of using e-mail lists which arent grown naturally by your campaign organization through subscribers actually siginng up with you via legitimate means (eg website signup fillling out a volunteer or donor card originating from your personal e-mail list etc)
The only way forward is to send them through your own personal e-mail account (NOT the campaign account because a spam complaint will shut down your website PLUS my other client websites)
I already sent you the original mailing list before two and a half weeks ago (see the e-mail below) Here it is again minus the unsubscribed addresses
Im not sure what happened to the clear understanding that we all had how tens of phone calls per day would be made by you to raise and collect funds for this high profile race I really thought you were gonna go for it this time doing the three things which were missing in past campaigns raise money identify voters and organize volunteers Clearly this non-followthrough and seeming non-commitment has adversely impacted various line items of a potentially successful campaign budget Each of us has important work to do to put points on the board for our side I hoped that you were going to play to win in 2010 with the Council race Now Im not even sure what happened to that aforementioned clear understanding
I have done plenty to help this campaign from setting the record straight with party leaders and party members alike about McDermotts record of helping Democrats ramping up a website creating flyers an excessively-revised and long-delayed mailer two e-blasts two fundraising cards lots of copywriting letterhead envelopes a banner stickers for your existing signage etc
While I still hope that you win youve made it extremely hard to bring all the elements together which would have assured the best chance for victory It was supposed to be different this time

Eric-
If you are full time- you cant be receiving a pay check for services for another job while on govt time as well----so I do not suspect you would want to be quitting your obligations during the day for your own business- but we can mastermind a part-time schedule that gives us flexibility and be out of range of the scrutinymy vision has you creating a template newsletter format specifically designed for each neighborhood board sector- a header for Nanakuli one for Waianae one for Kapolei etc- naming their full board with the board numnber like Ewa Neighborhood Board 23 and like letterhead that lists the directors on the side of who is on the board- we include THEIR names tailored on each board reportso I need you to produce monthly reports flyers that you do best tailored with headers listing the board and its members for each- then the document is filled with the actual report conveyed we come up each monthimagine a hand out at these board meetings that instead of saying TOM BERGs report- it is titled THEIR REPORT and the report belongs to them not me styleso that would be unique and fresh and stand outso I see you handling the video at times when I am in front of the camera- and doing the websiteelectronic emails and flyersand all from the comforts of your home if need be when canso if part-time works that is greatif you need full-time pay- lets do that- but then you would be under my thumb all day in my domain and unable to mastermind your own business affairs on the clockI think you should be full time- but I absolutely want you and need to know your schedule to execute my plan for media

Things I would do to cut taxes
(1) convert to anaerobic digestion systems on the sewage treatment plants (Oakland CA much of Wisconsin other areas) because these become self-sufficient in operating costs (produces its own electricity and is 99 effective in meeting clean standards) and reduce landfill input extend life of landfill by all the biowaste (about 1000 tons a day) and give businesses a place to dump all their food waste and landscaping waste rather than having to pay to have it dumped thereby lowering operating costs) Look at Wisconsinrsquos state survey ndashpayback is about 4 years or less Takes operating costs off the city budget
(2) feed-in tariffs and then offer HECO all the cityrsquos roofing for solar systems and give each facility the incentive to be energy efficient by having income from electricity generation added as revenue to them Los Angeles Sun Edison is in the midst of a five year project to do this There are dozens of parks and recreation facilities and Kapolei Hale
(3) cloud computing ndash consolidate servers to reduce hardware replacement and maintenance costs and use energy saver software to cut electricity costs
(4) convert to more energy efficient air conditioning
The state govtrsquos electricity bill as I recall was $138 million The state has over 1000 buildings ndash counting all UH buildings all DOE buildings everything One third of the time the rooftop-generated solar will go unused ndash all weekends 13 holidays school vacations after 430 pm This is a lot of revenue generation potential for feed-in tariffs and budget (tax) cutting
How to finance without going through Legislature ndash third party financing Use private financier to loan money with savings achieved and revenue generated from feed-in tariffs to repay loan with payback in about 7 years or less with permanent cut off govt budget and new stream of revenue DOD used it for B-52 bombers and NOAA used it to buy satellites
Remember govt has to take action now because pensions will be due in a few short years and we have to free up the space on the budget to meet these financial demands
You now have your chance Tom Do all the good that you have always wanted to do

Rep-This was never discussed - him leaving you- he was and is your right arm- I had no intentions of taking your first round draft pick from you and did not know you did not
want him on your teamI am not hiring him It has nothing to do about loyalty- John is the best in that field I am hiring team players though- dont worry- I will keep you abreast In conclusion- I never discussed staff hires with John and assumed he was just pitching in where he could and I am grateful for that and all motions led me to believe he was always to remain your OM with me winning or not since was positioning himself to take your seat

I have offered jobs to people for johns job and your job based on john saying he is going to the city council with you You hiring people who did not help on your campaign is going to hurt you politically and says a lot about your loyalty to people who support you Decide wisely At this point I do not want to renig on my offers to others I made decisions based on what was told to me Good luckKym

Rep-Ok on your email Some fodder for thoughts-
It was always my thoughts win or lose the election- he would stay your OM - -for we really did not think we would win- for him to want to work with me is an honor and would be great in other circumstances - I already told him his lust to run in 2012 for the Legislature is best served there- stay put and be on top of it there- crossing to the City lessens his bid in my opinion and I mentioned that yesterday morningstay put I told himbut certainly- I will inform him of my plan which is to mobilize a team that is 100 capable of executing a level of mobility at all timesin my opinion being at the helm- I dont want to second guess someones ability to execute the task due to such other variablesit is not want I want- but my vision for what district one needs and the staff will have to possess that mobilityI have until the 18th to hire anyways- I spoke to Gemma last night - she stays on up until the 17thI am hiring Eric if he takes it If John runs in 2012 - he can better launch his run from your pod rather than minemy crystal ball sees him succeeding with you and having better opportunities for exposure -- you can afford to leave the stage and put him in

there at times to garner the limelightfor me- I have to be everywhere and cannot afford to leave the stageso his ambitions for 2012 would be stymied if he worked for meand better served in your arena My two cents
THANKS- and an afterthought --so who is your new replacement Do you want them to start earlier than we talked If I need to exit now I can as well so you can formulate your plan of actionI am flexible Did John want to have my position

HERES MY TAKE - a little bit longer but touches on more of Kyms concerns
On the heels of such good news to finish out 2010 it really saddens me that we have this sudden and needless rift over the status of John Gollner when your stated intention was to have him replace me in your office in order to groom John for a 2012 state house race I still agree with you that this is a great idea The strange twist that suddenly yoursquove changed your mind about keeping John and demand that I hire him or else you are going to run against me does not seem at all reasonable
Eric shared with me your concerns about making sure that this council seat does not fall into the hands of Espero or someone else Please know that my campaign will be ramped up from day one along with my office I have every intention of winning re-election while working with our team to ensure success for all of us in 2012 After reexamining my performance in 2008 and 2010 I am totally committed to doing everything possible to realize success in what wersquove all been working for including becoming a much stronger link (campaigning fundraising) in our West Oahu chain
In my efforts we are always a team and our teamrsquos plan has long been to craft victories for 2012 all around With Johns running in 2012 for his own accord I will need all 4 staffers in my office 100 focused on BERGs success so that I will be an asset in 2012 not a liability I am genuinely just as committed to future victory for myself and for our team as I am for serving my constituents over the next two years and hopefully much longer Thatrsquos why this ultimatum from you does not quite add up John is not the only person in town capable of helping me to succeed or who fits the criteria that it important to you and me both
John has said that he will be running for House in 2012 I think would make the most sense for him to move to HD42 and run from there while Tito runs for your seat (against Bradshaw or Jason Espero) and then for you to take out Will As for my own re-election in 2012 I simply do not yet have the network and support base like you do to offer a staff position to someone who by necessity will using a significant amount of his time to mount his own campaign while getting his personal and professional capabilities up to 100 I need every person staff committed exclusively to the BERG mission firing on all cylinders for two full years day in and day out And while John by definition cannot meet these criteria I am determined to find people who have helped our team (or at least our party) and whom I can trust and rely upon and
who have campaign experience As I understand it thatrsquos precisely what criteria yoursquove suggested for me as well Thatrsquos why this rift is needless and unhealthy
I have not made a single staffing decision except for recruiting Eric to help take care of communications All other positions are open Right now I am leaning in favor of hiring Jamersquos cousin from Linglersquos office as my executive secretary which definitely satisfies the criteria which you feel I should have for my staff And since the council is a full-time year-round operation my legislative aide or clerk needs to be someone who is committed to working an intensive schedule that focuses exclusively on legislation and committee work That leaves another position which will also be crucial to my success as a councilmember and to getting re-elected constituent services I am developing a job description for this person which is very ambitious and will require being in the field and on the road 40 hours per week doing remote computer work troubleshooting reporting interacting with constituents and more This physically demanding job also requires a car and lots of reading and writing from the day I am sworn in until the next inauguration There will be no time for any member of the staff to be distracted with mounting his or her own campaign for office There just isnrsquot
As you know I was blessed to have you provide vacation time to me so I could campaign for my efforts I never doubted that you would be re-elected Just as I donrsquot doubt that you could handily oust Espero in 2012 while we work together to get Tito and John and Marissa elected
Letrsquos be honest It makes sense for John to take over my job at your office just like you planned in case I won I am not at your level where I can forfeit one of my few full-time year-round staff positions only to be shorthanded while John is ramping up and mounting his own campaign for months and months on end Also my policy will be to personally go to all community meetings myself rather than send a rep As a result John will not have regular chances to be featured like he would working for you utilizing the opportunities stemming from your office where he can get major exposure - as compared to my office where he would not be at all visible Yoursquoll be able to groom him and promote him as the right person for a seat in Ewa Beach while he simultaneously advances your specific goals in the district Working in partnership with you I can also look for ways to feature John as your rep in regular City-State partnering on issues and proposed solutions
I never promised to hire Gollner nor did I lead you him or anyone to believe that hersquod be joining my team if I won the council seat Even though winning the election a few days ago was never certain I was always planning on hiring team players that could help us both of our missions at hand I donrsquot get sworn in for a couple of weeks and am still thinking about the right fit of people and positions For you to say that yoursquore going to run to unseat me in 2012 because not hiring Gollner suggests that Irsquom not serious about re-election in two years is just not fair
Irsquom committed to working through this situation for the sake of our relationship and for the West Oahu team Letrsquos make my last couple of weeks at your office happy and productive ones while setting the stage for a team-driven successful future I can train John on every aspect of my job so that he can hit the ground running And you and I can start planning ways to make the next two years great both politically and policy-wise
Also for the sake of teamwork when we have our 2011 bills ready letrsquos do a show together for my ldquoFor Ewa Todayrdquo series This is one of many opportunities in which we can discuss joint ventures that link state and city endeavors for permanent solutions -- especially traffic Irsquove already dug up those 6 bills to advance together that we discussed last week Thursday before this

needless and unforeseen rift emerged We can tape in the studio toward the end of this month -but has to be turned in before the 26th of January to make the Feb deadline for playback
FYI- I am airing again the Patriot Run Walk 2010 this month on my showand the 235 BDAY Marines youtube you are onso TV show will again feature you
Back to 2010 I believe that the ideal scenario for isMontes vs Bradshaw ndash with an early start Tito can hold onto HD43Gollner vs Cabanilla ndash with an early start we can all help him in HD42Pine vs Espero ndash no question you can unseat himCapelouto vs Har ndash with an early start Marissa can pull this off
Our West Oahu team needs to meet soon so we can all get on track for 2012 Please join me in getting our relationship and our future plans in sync
