E Kala Mai! With all due respect to your Kupuna, Colleen is NOT a part of the problem. First & foremost it has & continues to be OUR problem as Kanaka Maoli! If we cannot unite ourselves & push for a single solution, then how are our elected  officials supposed to know what issues to push for us?

Colleen has a close relationship to Kanaka on the Homesteads in Wai`anae, Nanakuli & Waimanalo. Most people don't know Colleen, yet they are the most vocal making baseless allegations off of what they heard about her, unable to give specifics.

It is amazing how many people hold Colleen responsible as the lawyer for the person they accuse of being corrupt. Everyone is entitled to representation. How is it that the lawyer is guilty of the actions of the client?

In the end we all have choices. Colleen has seniority & connections in Congress. Everyone wants something & when someone doesn't get their way, they demonize the individual. If you can do better, run for office.
