Help Support the Proposed Superstore ban On Maui

Everyone's signature can help! Off-Island, or Hawaii residents. Help us protect Maui's small businesses by signing this petition

Petition


The Maui County Council is currently considering a bill prohibiting new or expanded Superstores on Maui.

These stores are an economic disaster most places, but in a place like Maui they are especially destructive to the economy, environment, infrastructure, and island way of life that makes Maui the paradise it is. Big-box stores would force more local businesses to close, and prevent others from opening. In these tough economic times we need to protect our people and businesses and find more sustainable ways to look at development, and there is nothing "Sustainable" about a Superstore.


We hope that all Maui residents, small business owners, and those who love Maui will sign our petition and let the Council know that they are in support of a BAN ON SUPERSTORES on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai.


The Council will be discussing and voting on this bill at their March 20th meeting. We do not have much time, so please:


1.........Sign our petition


2..........Write a comment for the Council in the "comment" section


3..........Copy the URL and send to friends and associates on Maui.


Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for your concern for the issue. With your help we can Protect Maui from Superstores.
