Mary J. Culvyhouse:  Your comment expresses my views.  Jill Tokuda is my Senator.  I have watched her for many years, and appreciate her very hard work and her courage.  Sometimes I attend fairly obscure community events and there she is, learning all she can about what's really happening.  I noted her persistence in public service at community events even during the late stages of a pregnancy.  I do not always agree with her views (she's a Democrat for heavens sake!)  but I will always be proud to have her as my Senator.  Let's add a chapter to the book "Profiles in Courage."
