Lose them all

Akaka was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Annie Kahoa and Kahikina Akaka.[1] During World War II he served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, including service on Saipan and Tinian. He earned a Bachelor of Education (1952) and Master of Education (1966) from the University of Hawaii.

He was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1976 to represent Hawaii's Second Congressional District. He won seven consecutive elections by wide margins.

Akaka was appointed by Governor John Waihee to the U.S. Senate in April 1990 to serve temporarily after the death of Senator Spark Matsunaga (who died that month), and sworn into office on May 16, 1990. In November of the same year, he was elected to complete the remaining four years of Matsunaga's unexpired term. He was re-elected in 1994 for a full six-year term, and, with over 70 percent of the popular vote, again in 2000.

Since 2000, Akaka has sponsored legislation to afford sovereignty to native Hawaiians. The Akaka Bill is presently under consideration.

He has worn out his usefullness and it is time to head for the retirement island.

He's too old to cut the mustard any more! The Dems even stirred up opposition in the primary against him!

736 years old. Should have retired decades ago. But that's the 50th State for you: the newest of member of the Republic that has the most geriatric of elected representatives. Hawaiians: Change The Record Already.

Nice job...concentrate more on exposing dirty politics in our government and you'll get a 5 outta me!
