You can say something like:
“Aloha e Governor Ige,
My name is ___ and I am a resident of ___. I am contacting you to ask that you veto House Bill 499. I am opposed to HB499 because I believe it is wrong to allow private developers to extend their current leases beyond 65 years with no cap and without proper stewardship or Environmental Impact Assessments. The land should be returned to the public good as promised.
Sincerely,”
