As 2006 drew to a close,  Lt. Watada's supporters in Hawai'i organized a paid media campaign and placed a full-page advertisement in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Volunteers sent out a call to endorsers of the Watada campaign, who each made a $10 contribution. These contributions covered the cost of the ad, which was printed on January 3, 2007.   

The ad included the names of national and local organizations and more than 700 individual supporters.
