[INDENT][URL='http://www.hawaiireporter.com/occupy-hawaii-island-movement-plans-protest-near-pelosis-posh-hawaiian-hotel/123'](Hawaii Reporter)[/URL] — U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, one of the most powerful supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement, may be in the right place at the right time to protest with the Big Island branch of the movement, Occupy Hawaii Island. The former House Speaker is once again spending her holiday at the exotic and luxurious Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka’upulehu in Kona on the island of Hawaii. The hotel web site says the resort is a tropical paradise with a spa, beachfront dining, fashion boutiques and a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. [URL='http://www.justluxe.com/travel/spa/feature-828474.php']According to[I] West Hawaii Today[/I], she spent previous Christmas holidays in Kona at the same hotel in an elaborate presidential suite that rents for $10,000[/URL]. Her spokesperson has not disclosed which suite Pelosi is staying in this year, saying such personal information is not released publicly. Pelosi’s trip coincides with a planned protest by the Hawaii Island occupy groups near her hotel. Jim Albertini, a well known community organizer, who has held several local protests, writes on his blog: “I just got a report from Kona. There are about 30 private half billion dollar jets parked at the Kona airport. I’m up for a drive over to protest at Kukio and possibly other 1% gated communities just north of the airport. Any others interested in joining me? The 1% pay only a little more to park their jet as it costs us to park our cars overnight. Something is wrong with that picture.” In an email to supporters this week, Albertini confirmed he organized a protest with “all Hawaii Island Occupy groups” this Saturday, December 31, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the road just south of the Four Seasons/Hualalai Resort. “It’s time to say to the 1% — PAY YOUR SHARE!
