** Chair's Corner
------------------------------------------------------------


** The Guardian of the Torch
------------------------------------------------------------
In the heart of the Pacific, in the Islands Hawaii, the Grand Old Party of the Isles had fallen into chaos. It was meant to be a stronghold of liberty dreamt by Prince Kuhio, a beacon of conservative values, yet it had become a battlefield of egos, betrayal, and division.

For years, leaders had risen and fallen like waves against the shore, unable to hold steady against the tempests of infighting and sabotage. Many leaders had taken the helm in a short time. Many had tried, and many had failed. That was until Alana Kahele stepped forward.

Alana Kahele had not sought power. She was a fighter, a grassroots organizer who had always believed in the principles of freedom, faith, and the Constitution. But when she saw the party drowning in corruption and disarray, she knew she had no choice. Someone had to take a stand, or all they had fought and rights of the people would be lost.

At first, her leadership was met with cautious optimism. She worked tirelessly to stabilize the party, paying off debts, building relationship, and rekindling the spirit of the movement. New members, excited by the prospect of change, began to join. Hope was in the air.

But not everyone wanted change.

The Shadows Within

In the counties throughout the islands, a group of entrenched elites, people who called themselves Republicans but served only themselves, began working against her. They spread lies, manipulated bylaws, and even turned away eager new members at district meetings. Their goal was clear: to make her fail, to push her out, to keep their grip on power, to keep their secrets hidden, and to control the finances.

"She is too much of a fighter," they whispered. "She won't play our game."

And they were right.

Alana Kahele refused to turn a blind eye to rule-breaking, to corruption disguised as strategy. She called for transparency, for honesty, for a party that actually stood for the people instead of personal gain. The resistance she faced was brutal as there were those who didn't want to follow the law and wanted to reign in defiance.

Her enemies used every tactic: distractions, misinformation, personal attacks, even threats against her and her family. While she was trying to fight and to even fight against dangerous legislation—laws that stripped parents of their rights, laws that made the state a sanctuary for harmful agendas—her own party members were creating obstacles at every turn, so that she was limited on focusing on what the party should be doing such as fighting bad bills, growing the party, getting Republicans elected, and more. But she kept fighting and moving forward.

"How can we fight our real enemies when our own house is in disorder?" she asked one night, tired but resolute.

Her closest allies stood by her side. They stood strong and they were warriors, encouraging her and each other to focus on the bigger picture which was the people, the children, and our freedoms.

"We clean the house," her friend Kimo said. "We rebuild. We fight not just against the corrupt government, but against the corruption within. If we do nothing, the movement dies."

The Crossroads

The next party meeting was a defining moment. The opposition had gathered, planning to overthrow her leadership, to twist the rules and seize control. But Alana was ready, she was armed with knowledge and legal support and guidance.

She stood before them—not as a politician, but as a warrior of the people.

"You may not like me," she said, her voice steady. "You may want me gone. But understand this: I did not come here to play politics. I came here to fight for what is right. If you truly care about this party, about this state, then stop fighting against each other and start fighting for the people."

Silence filled the room. Some scoffed. Some turned away. But others listened. And in that moment, the battle lines were drawn—not between left and right, but between those who stood for truth and those who sought power for themselves.

Some of the old guards walked out. But new faces, once pushed away, stepped forward. Because Alana was exposing the corruption and vowed to continue with transparency as "Truth has no fear".

The battle was far from over, but something had changed. The movement had found its purpose again. It was no longer just about winning elections—it was about saving the soul of the party and the people

A Call to the Grassroots

Alana knew the fight would never end. But she also knew this: the future belonged to those who refused to back down.

She called upon the grassroots, the everyday citizens who believed in something greater than themselves.

"Do not wait for someone else to fix this. The time is now. Stand up. Speak out. Do not let the corrupt take what belongs to the people. We must rise—not for ourselves, but for the future of our children, for our freedoms, for our home."

And so the movement grew.

The road was long, the challenges great. But the torch had been passed to those willing to carry it.

And as long as they stood together, the flame would never die.

The Lesson

True leadership isn’t about power—it’s about purpose. Those who fight for truth will always face opposition, especially from within. But the righteous never fight alone. When good people stand together, they can overcome any force, no matter how deep the corruption runs.

The question is not whether the battle will be hard.

The question is: will you stand up and fight?

We need you, the grassroots who have no fear to change the culture of the Republican party to what Prince Kuhio meant it to be, what the Republican stand for in our principles and platforms. We need patriots who believe in the Constitution, and build our strength so that we can protect our State, our Country, our freedoms...especially our children for our future.

Be wary of those who wave shiny objects and promise to fill your pockets, as they are only distracting you to bribe you to enrich their own agendas. Watch closely at their actions. Are they busy taking pictures and giving lip service, or are they committed to the people and producing results? Watch what they do, not what they say they are going to do.
