If you own a SATURN, or own GM stock, or having any connection whatsoever with SATURN Corporation, please politely inquire about why SATURN is active in anti-gay politics in Hawaii. The SATURN donation was reported in "Pacific Business News", a weekly newspaper in Honolulu. Best Regards, Tom Ramsey Ex-Officio, Board of Directors Marriage Project Hawaii P.S. The Honolulu Advertiser, the morning daily in Honolulu, reported this morning that Fort Lauderdale in Florida courts gay tourists: 500,000 went to Fort Lauderdale last year and spent an average of $1000 each. That's a cool $500 million. In the meantime, Hawaii's state government is laying off workers, cutting benefits and pay for state workers, and cutting services in general, due to a budget crisis. Go figure!
