End result desired and measurement: Vision: We see a society of individuals who, when problems or challenges arise, look first to themselves, their families, their communities, their churches, their member organizations for constructive thinking and acting to solve the issues with maximum development, preservation and enhancement of a civil, cooperating society and the dignity of the individual. Self-government, individual responsibility/accountability and authority are expected and honored. High personal and business reputation is strived for. Those neighbors or family or community members who are disadvantaged despite their best efforts, are given a hand up toward productivity, not careless charity. Government law provides rules, not the least of which is the individual’s right to keep and use his property. With the individual free to excel or fail or in the seeking of personal happiness and with strong community and family support for such, so long as there is no injury to others, overall prosperity rockets. Government interference begins to wane. Rules/laws become easier to comprehend, less confusing, more even-handed. Community and association rules, many of them informal, become stronger. Persons of poor character who show no interest in changing, are simply left behind until they decide to change or depart for other places. Churches of all kinds are essential elements in community strength. Reporters, editors, newsmedia are important opinion leaders. Changes toward liberty (self-government) in news or editorial positions are indicators of progress as are additions of like-minded teachers and college professors. It is important to comprehend the numbers behind the vision. Of the 1,000,000 Hawaii residents; 500,000 or less register to vote, of those, some 50% actually vote = 250,000 as a potential at the polls number. Those that agree with the above vision tend to be voters. Thus, if we had 2% of the registered voters with us (10,000), we would have 4% of the vote. That means that 20% of the registered voters would be a decisive number (100,000 or 40% of the vote) in many more ways than one. First, one in every 10 persons in Hawaii, active and engaged, would be an enormous opinion shaper. Second, you could no longer be ignored. Third, there would be a growing elected force in the legislature. In short, change would be under way rapidly. That’s the vision. How can we measure progress? Measurements
