Our communities are under a huge threat. The proposed bill HB1980 stands to transform many of our friends, relatives, and neighbors into felons overnight. These are not hardened criminals but hardworking blue-collar individuals, entrepreneurs, and working-class people who contribute significantly to our local economy.

Small businesses form the backbone of our economic growth here in the Islands. Yet this bill threatens their very existence with its current wording. It's not just about economics though; it's about preserving the fabric of our community. Many families maintain small and large-scale chicken farms which foster connections within families and across communities.

If passed as it currently stands, bill HB1980 will dissolve these connections that have been built over generations. This is more than just a legal issue; it's a personal one that affects each one of us directly or indirectly.

We cannot stand by while this happens to our community. We must make sure that those in power understand the full implications of this bill on ordinary people like us before they cast their votes.

Let us stand together against Bill HB1980! Let us protect our small businesses, preserve family traditions and maintain the strong bonds within our community that we the people have built over the years!! Sign this petition now to show your opposition against Bill HB1980!
