Tuesdays with Tulsi

Exposed

The Pentagon recently released a report on military sexual assault, and the results are staggering. Of an estimated 26,000 cases of unwanted sexual contact in 2012, only 3,374 cases were reported and only 238 resulted in court-martial charges.

This is unacceptable. The current system allows for an abuse of power and an environment that discourages victims from speaking out.

Why is Tulsi in Missouri?

Facebook Twitter

However, she's not home this week because she is fulfilling her two weeks of National Guard Annual Training, which started last Friday. She's participating in Military Police Training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO.

The Way Forward

Facebook Twitter

Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the inauguration of President Obama’s second term in office.

He made a strong call for all of us to work together, to care for our kupuna, to provide a level playing field for our children, and to keep our commitment to fairness and equality for all people.

Senator Inouye's Life of Service

Facebook Twitter

Aloha Friends,

I write with a heavy heart and join you in mourning the passing of Senator Daniel K. Inouye. With his passing, Hawai'i and the nation have lost a true leader who gave us hope for a brighter future and motivated so many to step up and serve.

Senator Inouye is an American hero in every sense, sacrificing in battle and breaking down the barriers of prejudice that existed in World War II. After serving so admirably and bravely, he returned to Hawai'i where he dedicated his life to our State from its first days in the Union.
