Hone Harawira Campaign Statement - 24 JUNE 2011
One day out from the election and I'd just like to say That it's been a tough campaign Up against the Maori Party, the
Labour Party and the National Party And more than a hundred thousand dollars spent by the opposition
All to try to keep me out of parliament
To try to stifle the free-thinking of the north and To try to suppress the voice of dispossessed
So it's really heartening to know that despite all that We're still ahead in the latest polls
So to all the kaumatua and kuia, mums and dads, Workers, unemployed, beneficiaries And our rangatahi as well .
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart
I have treasured your calls from the curb Your cheers from the passing cars Your jokes and the all the laughter Your
suggestions, your challenges Your korero over a cuppa tea Your prayers and your blessings And your simple words of
encouragement
So keep the faith folks and let's show the world That Tai Tokerau treasures its independence That Tai Tokerau wants a
leader:
* who stands by his word
* who stands up for the treaty
* who has proved himself in building for the future
And that Tai Tokerau stands by those who stand by them
Best wishes to my opponents tomorrow
But Solomon needs a rest, and Kelvin is already on the list
So as I close, let me just add one more message To everyone in the Tai Tokerau From Kelston to the Cape Mai Hokianga ki
Taumarere
And I'd ask that you share it with your friends today And keep it in mind when you go to the polls tomorrow
A vote for Kelvin will only get you Kelvin But a vote for HONE will get you HONE and Kelvin
VOTE SMART
VOTE WITH MANA
VOTE HONE
