The unfinished portrait of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt serves as a reminder that our 32nd President's vision for America also remains unfinished and will be so until all Americans have affordable healthcare, housing, and economic parity as articulated in Roosevelt's 2nd Bill of Rights.
Our broad-base coalition working to advance specific progressive
issues was formed in 1994 and facilitates communications between some 4000
politically-active Democrats, Progressives, Independents, and Greens across the
state. View the list of issues we support and information on how you can become more involved HERE
The Great Endarkenment Continues...
By Sam Smith
The Progressive Review
"In the end, the only solution to a failed America is a new America. And there's nobody who can do it but us."

ON hiatus from 2000-2006, the Hawai`i Independent Democrats (HID) is reactivating simply because of the many requests to do so. HID participants who are Democrats or are "Democrats @ Heart" believe that as the dominate political force in Hawai`i, the considerable energies and resources of the Democratic Party of Hawai`i (DPH) should be as much focused upon passing progressive legislation that benefits the entire community as they are upon electing Democrats to office. This was the original covenant. MORE
UNFORTUNATELY, many eligable voters -- young and old -- have simply given up on our 107-year old Democratic Party of Hawai`i (DPH) as an agent of positive change. After well-over 50 years of political domination,
most Island residents understand the fact that the DPH is far-too controlled by the long-entrenched status-quo. The 1954 "Democratic
Revolution" ended decades of Republican political control in Hawai`i and "produced some of the most liberal reforms in the nation." But, as Jerry Burris, Editor of the Honolulu Advertiser once put it, "In the end,
they were victims of their own success."

To keep our coalition members informed about the status of HID issues, veteran communication consultant Scott Foster, with 25-years political experience in Hawai`i, has designed our e-based communications model. What you are viewing today is only the beginning of what Scott feels to be "...the most advanced set of political tools we've ever created" -- with MUCH more soon to be added.
