Many bad pieces of legislation like H.B. 2288 are introduced each year. Check the link status below. It's already getting killed.

"Deferred" is legislative code for we want to kill the bill. It may get a miracle and make it out of committee but it's highly unlikely it will ever see the light of day.
Very Bad Bill in Hawaii ...
We need to stop this thing ASAP.
Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg sued for $1 billion -- this ain't no "April Fool's" joke nor laughing matter!
Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, and a US Senate candidate in 2004, has filed a lawsuit against Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg for their role in furthering a “radical” Facebook Page called “Third Palestinian Intifada,” which openly advocated another uprising against the citizens of Israel. The complaint reserves the right to be amended into a class action suit and prays for compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $1 billion.
It’s April 1st and yet I saw this story last night. I thought it might be an early April Fools’ joke until I found the 7-page complaint (PDF) today. It alleges assault and negligence, including willful and wanton conduct, gross negligence and recklessness on the part of the Defendants, because Klayman’s life, as well as other similarly situated Jews who are prominent public figures and otherwise, have had their lives put at risk.

I wanted to let all of you know about the next meeting of Social Media Club Hawaii - Jan 18th. We are talking about trends and especially hope to have lots of app developers, mobile peeps, and marketing/HR/IT specialists to help us discuss these trends!
Burt, I'm not sure who the primary contact is, but start with Jeff Bennett - He's the one who posts on the http://mauismug.wordpress.com/ blog. The about page lists him (and wife) as founders. .... and love to talk to you sometime about Maui Makers - the maker space we're setting up here (dinner meetup w/MauiTechies on Jan 11 http://www.techhui.com/group/mauitechies)
