| Honorable Congress man Eni, and brother Newton. I know for a FACT you both are great people, what ever differences that you both have please put it aside and let's work together. If anything, let's not point fingure to our honorable congress man. He is doing a great job for our people up in Washington. There is absolutely nothing that our leaders can do to stop a company (business) from closing. Remember we can only offer so much, and if the negotiating party (business) wants more than the norms, then the answer is NO. COS wnated to move operation a very long time ago, they didn't just went to sleep and woke up the next day and decided to move. People you need to understand (research if it helps)that it happens for a reason. |

| Conflict is not a bad thing if it brings constructive critisms that will in turn help bring in solutions to the problem. I think both men have a common interest and that is a solution to our local problems. It's good if both bring it to the table where the public is free to parcipate and everyone shares their concerns/suggestions on what is best for our people. I'm not all in favor of the on-going public dialogue between the two mbut it's clear sign that both are interested & passionate about their beliefs and concerns on issues affecting our local people. I've not recalled a time when our current gov. or lt. gov ever responded specifically to a letter in the paper. And if either one did, it must have been brief and indirect. I definitely agree with the thoughts shared by "College Graduate" that our people are not getting what they deserve. Our current leaders are not using the many resources, gifted people, money to build our country to become more self-sufficient and be better prepared in time of crisis. They're continually hiring the old folks and close buddies of theirs while pushing aside open opportunities for the talented & ambitious young folks. These same leaders are looking away while many families are struggling to make ends meet, the poor little children feeling hungry or eating cheap junk foods to satisfy their hunger. It breaks my heart, especially knowing that these leaders were raised in a place that values community love and hospitality and of course spiritual principles, but have turned a blind eye to the desperate cry by the people. Many are without jobs, and here our govt seems to not work as fast as they should to seek ways and make necessary accomodations for these people. These leaders have made bad decisions in allocating funds and are very inadequate in making plans for our future. I'm very concerned for our country's future, we really need change, we need honest and caring leaders, leaders that are well-rounded and open-minded and ones with a much bigger heart than his/her brain. |

| It is not Eni's job to "diversify" the American Samoan economy, that is the Governor and Fono's job. Eni has nothing to do with the idiotic laws and regulations our local government enacts. Eni had nothing to do with the largest human trafficking case in American history (Daewoo) nor did he have anything to do with the failed Call Center just to name a few instances of ASG's big ideas. The truth of the matter is, there are those that want his job in DC. They chose to conjure up stories, yet they fail to see, that Eni is the one and only person Amerika Samoa can believe in. He hasn't earned the admiration and respect of the voters for all these years because of family ties, bribes and kick backs, he has earned it with hard honest work, dedication and love of his people. For those of you that continue to bad mouth Eni, good luck, because good always defeats evil, and Eni has always lead from the front with honesty and humility, as a good leader always does. There is one other person that I would like to mention that has these same qualities, and the is Utu Abe Malae. Both of these men are "Extraordinary Men", something Amerika Samoa is severely lacking. |

| I agree with the majority of those who've weighed-in on our "so-called" representative in Washington. I think he is now beginning to truly see where today's generation is at, in terms of being frustrated and tired of the same old rhetoric! Our people have been patient long enough with our Governor(s), the Fono and Washington "figure-head" hiearchy... Look! we're no longer going to be silent or filemu! To date' NOTHING! Yeah congressman, as you say, the country is now in a serious predicament of financial hardship. It literally is the result of politicians "allowed" to excercise their insider business dealings with Wall Street cronies, GREED. A Washington politician can be convicted in Federal Courts, of political corruption, serve time, and as a convicted FELON still collect a "guaranteed" pension for THOUSANDS monthly. These guys voted yes to a plan to collect "our" monies for their benefit, even if convicted as a FELON! What a "gig!!!"
Samoas "REPRESENTATIVE" is an insider! Truthfully the "traditionalist" will write in support, to defend Eni. Yeah Eni they're your target audience, the ones who will, like SHHEP defend you to the end. Obviously they're either family members who gain some sort of benefit in his status, or they're just prehistoric minded individuals, who find pride in him "cause he can articulate and carry himself well in front of a bunch of "palagi's" They'll argue that he's too honorable to be blasted like this in a public forum. But Eni, hear us out! We are tired of the same ol' same ol' And now I say wake up! The world moves forward! We won't stand still! We have not progressed! Don't tell us about what you supposedly did in the past! It's what can you do to help out NOW! Because whatever you claim you done in past not only is the past, but it obviously has placed here where we are today! Wake up Eni! We're not happy! And if you are so arogant to believe that responding to John Newton in this manner (race-baiting) is how you're gonna answer the real questions of "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE, AND WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE IN MIND TO DO AT THIS POINT!" It's certainly not working... The Cannery issue only has "opened up a SORE" that has never been addressed properly. and we though you'd be one to at least help in addressing this old wound. You're in DC! You need to step up NOW! And if you don't, cool! Maybe someone else can finally have the "balls" to work with the those in Washington to "finally" secure justice for those on the islands. We wanted you to lead the way in "calling-out" the criminals! Prosecute the all to common illegal practices in Samoa! Sole, be a LEADER and step up in calling-out the corruption in Samoa! Do we literally have to wait until media from CNN, CBS NBC etc., come down to conduct exposes' on how corrupt the government is! Dude, people in Samoa and those who are of Samoan descent throughout the world claimed to be embarassed from the recent coverage on the Tsunmai fiasco... But we knew, and YOU knew this was common practice in Samoa Eni, you knew! Misuse or embezzling of federal funds was always a reality! You knew, and you know! But where are you? Defintely not in the forefront! The canneries are just one of the "many" problems Samoa has learned to live with; Textile company's, illegal immigration, corrupt politics, Development Bank, the LBJ hospital, inappropriate use of federal grants etc., these historically and currently are the realities of our Samoan people back home! Has anything improved or changed since you been in office? NO! In fact, when I originally voted for you, I hoped you would make some impact for better, or at least lead the charge to address all the corrupt practices, but no, nothing has changed or improved!
So my question now is, how come Eni? How come you're so out of sight and out of mind? You're educated and learned? But where are you and what is your stance on all these realities? Too many years, too long in office and nothing to show in improving this STILL CORRUPT ISLAND GOVERNMENT! And you're in Washington! So what is your take? What do you get for not saying or doing anything? I know you're an insider in Washington, so for all these years you've gotta have been able to establish some influence there... Or have your efforts primarily been for you and your family only. Ummm... Maybe, maybe SELF PRESERVATION is your motive. Ahhh, I see, it's just like every other politician whether in Samoa or Washington. "Get whatever you can, while you can and nothing else matters." Why don't we conduct an investigation on you solely and find out what or who your "special-interest" is?Maybe its time for A CHANGE! I doubt Eni will ever considering returning to Samoa if he is not voted in to represent the island, because even he knows that it's too corrupt for him and his family. And he's already established so many politcal connections in D.C. that WE don't have any insight about? No, he'll be okay, he'll do very well in Washington.... Thanks for whatever Congressman Eni, yeah thanks... Whatever! |

He has all the qualities to be in this position. |

30 Dec 2009 10:13 AM |
| Well, well, well. It appears that Eni's staff, aiga and camp followers have awakened from their holiday slumber and now are weighing in. But as expected they say nothing beyond "Eni has done a lot for us" and has brought in "lots of federal money" and/or they attack John Newton on fish cleaners or call centers, but NO ONE YET--we are waiting--has told us how Eni specifically has made a difference. They can't, because he just announces grants that every territory gets, no matter who is the delegate. He has NOT made a difference. And let's boil down Newton's answer to Eni to three basic points: 1. race baiting: By asserting that John Newton has suggested Samoans are no good for anything more than cleaning fish, Eni is race baiting, since Newton suggested no such thing; 2. no legislating on economic development: In 36 years in government, Eni has done little to help diversify our economy. He has offered no legislation of assistance to implement recommendations of the Interior economic development study but has proposed moves to legislate on citizenship, senate elections, federal court, local election procedures and CIP earmarking; 3. ASPIRE is nowhere. The ASPIRE legislation recognizes Eni cannot persuade Congress to repeal or freeze the minimum wage for AS. ASPIRE as proposed is not going to pass. It doesn't even have Obama's support.
I'll say it again: nobody is defending Eni on these points because they know these are facts than cannot be refuted. |

Regardless of what Mr. Newtons messages is, we Samoans know, John Newton happened upon Samoa, while drifting, and thought this was going to be his pot of gold and where he would make a name for himself. It did not happen, as he envisioned, not from lack of trying. (as his last attempt with the call center proved) He failed from lack of honest intent and no money to invest, banking on the federal/local government and others to bank his ventures. Yes, why would we need another call center when the College can be equip to handle a small island like ours. John was going to move his venture to Samoa hoping federal and local funds can be used, it bombed! Now all of a sudden he is in authority to advice us Samoans on what is economically advantageous. Give me a break, John. There is nothing this man said we, Samoans don't already know. However, I worked the canneries and have moved on to educated my children and reap the rewards of that investment. The canaries gave many Samoans, who are now affluent, the good life we now have. As I and others move up others move in to make a life for themselves. My family was there 50 years ago and I am qualify to speak on the issue. It is easy to write, criticise and speculate about island issues. Doing something about these issues, is what the Congressman Faleomavaega Eni Hunkin, has been doing. The quality of life in American Samoa is elevated due to the work the congressman is doing to make sure American Samoa gets the necessary funds. His record speaks for itself. The Congressman is doing his job and have earned our respect and admiration. |

| The Congressman has done more for American Samoa ever since we elected our own governor. He has brought more funds and did more for our people than any governor or political leader in American Samoa. Our political and economical problems are caused by our governor and fono who just sit around and do nothing. Sometime it seems Eni have to do there job at times. As for you Mr. Newton, you need to stop throwing rocks. Who put you up to this? |
Let's Work Together wrote: |
29 Dec 2009 05:29 PM |
| You know what's sad about all this? We're arguing about different approaches to the same problem, which is our economic future. Newton says Eni should use his influence to encourage a diversity of businesses, which is fine, except that we already have a diversity of businesses and most of them are either directly or indirectly dependent on the BIG GENERATOR of money in American Samoa which is the canneries. On the wage issue, Eni was stuck between a rock and a hard place - if he didn't move for a wage increase then the fish cleaners would continue to feel exploited, but if he did push for a wage increase, then the canneries were liable to say, we can do this cheaper elsewhere, which is what happened. While it may take a little longer for us all to feel it, I'm sure I don't need to remind everyone that without the canneries and the income they generate, economically speaking, we're IN TROUBLE. This is not to say that all hope is lost. Some have suggested that ASG take over the canneries, which I don't think is a bad idea unless ASG runs the canneries like they ran the Rainmaker Hotel. However, a SMART government, one not crippled by corruption, incompetence, waste, favoritism and inefficiency, might be able to see us through these challenging times. Perhaps a more educated ASG could find the solutions which the current ASG cannot? The time has passed to suggest we have to think of new solutions - now we're not going to have much choice. We're going to have to all work together to get through what's coming, even Eni and Newton, and those who side with either one. Don't we all want the same thing? |

| Tulou lava! I think its easy for everyone to take mr. newton's side; nevertheless, I am going to side with Congressman Eni F. Hunkin on this matter as I have been keeping track of this issue since it surfaced. Point number one to make. If the canneries that closed down can afford to relocate to Georgia and be able to pay the U.S. Mainland standard minimum wage; why couldn't they do it Amerika Samoa? Do our people deserve less? Should we continue to focus on "cheap labor" instead of focusing on quality? This is one of the reason the U.S. Government is failing. The whole import of cheap labor has created and caused and meltdown in the economy which started a decade ago. Do the American people now blame the Mexican for coming in and doing all the work that no American want to do at a substantial low wage? Think about it? For the 50 years, our Samoan people has worked for peanuts. How does ASG expect our local people to inject money into the local economy? I believe its the right thing to do and this is to increase wages so our people could inject and spend money into the local economy. The failure came from many past governor including our current governor not having the vision and the foresight to see into the future and begin planning for it. Well, its a day late and dollar short. In the end the companies have made major profits off the our people for the past 50 years. My mother worked at the canneries so did a lot of mothers and relatives that I can think of. Amerika Samoa is not a third world country and we should not expect anything less. We are given plenty of U.S. Tax paying money to fund our operations and we have not much to show for it. Its a shame and appalling to hear people criticize something that should have been done a long time ago-whether the canneries stay or not is not really the bit issue. The big issue are our leaders and business leaders back home ready to stand on its two legs and start making and generating our own profits without having to rely too much on the outside??? That is the question. Now, the cannery that is moving to Georgia, who amongst you is going to go there and protest them not to pay $7-10/hr for each employee who will be cleaning fish or whatever it is they are going to do? Anyone going there to tell the company that this is not fair after all the years they been paying our people the 2-3 dollars an hour? Who among you leaders are going to stand up against it? If I were the leaders of the island, I filed a lawsuit against them and recoup all the necessary pay raise that our people deserve over the past many years and use the money wisely to run our own canneries. I would think by now someone on ground has the intuitive, knowledge, and intelligence to run our territory own cannery. Well, God Bless Amerika Samoa-I believe Congressman Eni Hunkin approach is correct and America is paying for it now. Focused on cheap labor and life cycle of economics is a recipe for disaster. God Bless, I have no ties to the congressman only I believe he is right-our people deserve better. Amen- Misikana Tuumalo |

| Eni keeps saying Newton has attacked him personally but I don't see it. Newton has said nothing about Eni's wife, his marriage, his health, his weight, his children, his grooming, his clothing, his religion etc. etc. That would be personal attacks. Criticism of Eni's record is NOT a personal attack. Newton challenges Eni to tell us how he has made a difference (not a phony report of all the federal grants we get any way) in diversifying our economy in the 36 years he has held important jobs in Congress and ASG where he was in a position to make a difference. No more attacks on Newton, Eni and leave the fish cleaners out of it. Tell us what you've done. |

| How many years have passed since this "call center" was supposed to be up and running? and the "fish cleaners" that Jon Newton is disparaging with his belittling remarks are actually well educated having been brought up in the western samoa system of education. Most have been through more schooling than students from american samoa and the ones that don't go on to college go to a vocational type setting. Eni is absolutely right in his defence of the workers at the canneries and I challenge Jon Newton to go on record of how many folks he employs or has over the years. Don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house. |

29 Dec 2009 06:38 AM |
| I think Mr. Newton's letter was taken out of proportion. His letter was not to poke fun at fish cleaners. I understand his views when it comes to us the younger generations aiming for nothing but the best. So many people in ASG including our Congressman and Governor claim to be education advocates and wanting us to better our selves and don't limit ourselves, pursue the best opportunities our there, etc. I know I speak for so many students who have done just that, they leave their island home of Samoa to further their education by graduating from college, etc. College graduates like myself want nothing but to return home and find jobs where we can give back to our community and help our parents who have sacrificed so much for us. Like a broken record, ASG and our own people turn their backs on us because they would rather employ their family members and political friends in key positions. Now mind you, many of these individuals in these positions have no degrees and relevant experience. Mr. Congressman should move on and focus on bigger issues that are urgent instead of whining and trying to make up for what Newton is honestly saying about him. Unfortunately, if it wasn't for the Tsunami, many jobs wouldn't be available for our people in Samoa. It took something like this for jobs to become available. Like many others would say, only Uncle Sam will help us through trying times. We can't rely on our own leaders to do that because they are busy using Uncle Sam's money on their own personal and political agendas. Stop with the whining and be the solution not the problem. Thank you Mr. Newton for your honest opinion on issues like these. Honesty is something we don't see in our leaders, nor our government, just so sad very sad. Our young generation are patiently waiting for the Lord to bring change to our small island. Hundreds and thousands of college graduates are yearning to come home to help be that change, but unless we get a Governor and Congressman that will allow that to happen, it won't be long until we see many government officials thrown in jail by the feds due to abuse and misuse. God bless and Peace! |

Great startegy Eni, when all else fails, start picking and chastising your voters and constituents. It must be miserable to be told the truth. No one ever said picking fins from fish was less honorable. We all said, it may be time to try something NEW, and that means a NEW Congoman or Woman. Times up Eni, and you have failed.

I should know, his two Samoan daughters and his Samoan grandson are beautiful children. Eni, your children are never coming back to Samoa and the whole island knows it. Mr. Newton's children were born, raised, and will always live in Samoa. You lost the canneries battle by demanding the canneries pay higher wages. Now they're virtually gone. Mr. Newton simply wants a more competitive American Samoa. Wake up and be more creative. Otherwise, I won't vote for you in 2010. I've only been voting for you because you employ some great people. |

Now you have said it straight and blatantly clear. You are "right on" Eni, and this Newton dude should learn a huge lesson in your reply. There are too many of these types of individuals on island that believe that making monies off the backs of our locals entitles them to say whatever they want, even if its disparaging. There are tons of us out here that appreciate the things you do, and the effort you put out for our people. I always said that if Newton know better and his followers believe you are a bully, hey, put thy name on the ballot next year and see what happens. I will say it again, atleast you come out swinging for the small man, the uneducated according to Newton and his followers. Atleast you have the heart to preserve an industry that helps our low wage earners, who contribute so much to our churches, village activities, family fa'alavelaves and so forth. May the good Lord bless you Eni, and may He continue to extend good health so that you can continue to serve the people and territory of American Samoa. Malo tau, malo toa mo Samoa ma ona tagata.

Newton's point is that we need to diversify business to create more jobs and create an economy where the eggs aren't all in one basket. He asked Eni what Eni has done to further this aim. Still waiting for an answer. |

Successful people take more from society than they contribute; people of value give more to society than they take from it. John belongs to the of groupd of people of value. John has created value which benefited people in our society,through his business ventures. Eni has successfully used the people, as all politicians do, for his benefit- employment. Yep, John is a solutionist; Eni is an illusionist.

| I have to agree with "Samoan Fan of JN." This is classic Eni. He is very definitely a race baiter. Pity the poor palagi who goes up against him. He always comes back with a vengeance and makes it about race. Look what he said about Republicans at his ASPIRE hearing, charging that they want Samoans to ride the back of the bus. Look how he went after our local Asian businessmen last year on the basis of their race. Newton is right. I hadn't thought about the fact that Eni has worked in federal and territorial government positions on economic development issues for 36 of the 50 years the canneries have been here and has literally nothing to show for it. No wonder he wants to attack Newton as anti-Samoan. It diverts attention from his sorry record and it's pathetic. Expect his amen corner to weigh in now. They always do.

| The tactics Eni is using in his latest argument/disagreement/fight with Newton are the exact same tactics he uses in almost every argument/disagreement/fight he gets into. If you need proof go to http://www.house.gov/faleomavaega/bio.shtml, click on "press releases" on the bottom left side, and read a few that have to with some sort of dispute he has with someone, anyone, and you will see what I mean. Eni always acts so offended and outraged, and turns everything into a personal attack. Doesn't matter if he is fighting with a palagi (e.g., Don Binotto, CEO of StarKist, Carlos Sanchez) or a local Samoan politician (e.g., the governor of AS). Why does he do it? Probably because it plays well with his audience (i.e., his supporters). So the take-away lesson is, don't take what Eni says too seriously, it's all 'show and tell' (i.e., politics)! |
