I am not part of any faith-based group. I had come to the decision that SB1 needed to amended. It wasn't protective enough for everybody.
I haven't figured out why I felt so compelled to fight for the religious exemptions, to not erode Constitutional rights. I don't belong to any particular denomination. I don't wear one of those hats. I take religion out of everything. My religion is the mountain, the aina and spiritual. Everybody finds their own religion somewhere. I have the same values as they do, but it's just a little different. When I walked into this session, that rose to the surface. Why me? Why am I trying to protect your religious rights?
I'm still trying to figure it out. I've always followed paths. I don't find the path. The path finds me. This, obviously, is a path I’m supposed to go.
