“Having claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God, G. W. Bush uses the presidential podium as a pulpit. He doubles as the messiah, imposing misguided beliefs, that create suffering, that rationalize violence, that have endangered the nation and the future.” |

“One of the most difficult things in communicating an idea visually is penetrating people's immunity to the subject. All our life we have been looking at tragic images of suffering people. The cumulative effect of these thousands of visual assaults makes us feel powerless and we turn away. Sometimes words can accomplish what images cannot. In my poster, the attempt is to represent the tragedy metaphorically by crossing out words to symbolize the genocide. What happens in Darfur happens to us.” |

“Last spring, a 5.500 mile roadtrip along highways, byways and sideways in confronted me with hundreds of dead and heavily mutilated animals lying next to the road. On another trip, I saw a deer getting catapulted and killed by the car right in front of me. This makes me sick to the stomach. It's time all of us car-addicts start snapping out of the going-with-the-flow-of-traffic-while-fumbling-our-iPods-mode. Start Seeing Animals!” |

“If men did not stray, if women had rights, if AIDS did not kill, perhaps the church's strict ban on condom use would be morally defensible. But none of these conditions apply in Africa today. As a consequence, the cost of the church's inflexibility may mean not only untold human suffering, but the loss of millions of innocent lives.” |

Don't wait until these rights are taken away to defend them. Demand your rights, defend a woman's right to choose.” |

“Far away in Montana, hidden from view by clustering mountain-peaks, lies an unmapped northwestern corner - the Crown of the Continent. The water from the crusted snowdrift which caps the peak of a lofty mountain there trickles into tiny rills, which hurry along north, south, east and west, and growing to rivers, at last pour their currents into three seas. From this mountain-peak the Pacific and the Arctic oceans and the Gulf of Mexico receive each its tribute. Here is a land of striking scenery.” |

Story telling through dance was performed by the beats of drums and stomping mukluks. The elders are dying and the knowledge of our culture and heritage goes with them. Through a local organization, youth are being taught about the history of their ancestors.” |

"On Sept. 8, 2002, the lead article of the paper... concerned the aluminum tubes that the administration advertised insistently as components for the manufacture of nuclear weapons fuel.... There were hints that the usefulness of the tubes in making nuclear fuel was not a sure thing, but the hints were buried deep, 1,700 words into a 3,600-word article. Administration officials were allowed to hold forth at length on why this evidence of Iraq's nuclear intentions demanded that Saddam Hussein be dislodged from power: 'The first sign of a "smoking gun," they argue, may be a mushroom cloud.'" |

“Hawai'i residents generate an whopping average of 6.2 pounds of 'opala (trash) daily. That's 41% more than the national average (4.4 pounds). This wastefulness is compounded by lack of recycling, with more than 2/3 of our waste being landfilled or incinerated. Honolulu is the largest city in the nation without a curbside recycling program. Oahu's main landfill, Waimanalo Gulch, will be closed by May 2008. The landfill may then move someplace else. Perhaps to your community.” |

Artist's Statement: |

“My wife and I currently know 2 same-sex couples that want to get married. They are some of the closest people to our family and particularly excellent examples of love and acceptance to our 2 daughters. In fact, outside of our immediate family, our daughters feel most loved by the 2 lesbian couples we are close with. It's hard for me to believe that there are people out there that can be opposed to such loving wonderful people being able to marry. Same sex couples don't devalue the sanctity of marriage. It's the high divorce rate and spousal abuse that goes on that devalue the sanctity of marriage.” |

“In July 2006, the monthly average for renting a partially furnished home on O'ahu was $2,477, while the rent for a partially furnished apartment aver-aged $1,453 a month. With such high demand for limited space on O'ahu, the term 'affordable housing' in Hawai'i may refer to what is affordable, but not always livable. How much would you pay to live in this paradise?” |
