Willoughby vs Hirono: “A choice between higher taxes and lower taxes”
By News Release @ 1:21 PM :: 10067 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
I want to relieve the tax burden on Hawaii families and small businesses, while Mrs. Hirono has already committed to drastically raising your taxes this coming January. I want to stop the incessant and reckless government spending that jeopardizes our children and grandchildren’s future, yet Mrs. Hirono advocates more ill-conceived, ill-advised, and ill-fated and costly deficit bailout schemes. And I want to create jobs for our high number of unemployed and underemployed workers, but Mrs. Hirono wants to continue making Hawaii families more and more dependent on government handouts.

Rep Karl Rhoads, Oahu Co Democrats try to knock Iraq War Vet off HD 28 ballot
By News Release @ 7:20 PM :: 11818 Views :: Honolulu County, Democratic Party, Office of Elections, Republican Party
|
“People of House District 28th should know who the ‘residents’ filing these petty complaints are. Lynne Matusow is an Oahu County Democratic Party official who has developed a habit of filing complaints against Mr. Chang to distract the campaign away from Karl Rhoads’ record of raising taxes and hurting small business. Anthony Chang is a former staffer at the Democratic Party who was paid to do one of the dirtiest jobs in politics-- follow opposing candidates around with a video camera. These people are not concerned residents and this is not an honest complaint.

HUD: Hawaii Federally funded construction projects jeopardized by override of Lingle’s veto
By News Release @ 2:20 PM :: 12066 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
“I encourage the Legislature to take immediate steps to repeal these two laws since they place federally funded public construction projects in Hawai‘i in jeopardy and could even subject the State to fines and penalties for violating federal procurement rules,” said Governor Lingle. “In addition to the legality of an ambiguous residency quota and procurement preference, I vetoed these measures because they discourage job creation, delay and increase the cost of public construction projects, and stall our economic recovery.”

Six Months Later and ObamaCare Continues to Fall Flat for Hanabusa
By News Release @ 12:24 PM :: 9695 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Recent news has shown that the Democrats’ healthcare takeover continues to grow more unpopular among the American public as it stunts job growth, imposes even more new taxes, and strips working families of their existing healthcare coverage. While the White House once claimed to be campaigning on ObamaCare, it now appears that Democrats like Hanabusa are running away from the healthcare takeover that they once supported.

Full Text: House Republican Caucus "Pledge to America"
By News Release @ 4:43 PM :: 10641 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
In town halls and on public squares, in every corner of this country, people have gathered and spoken out – in small groups and larger crowds, through phone calls and in letters, through websites and new technologies. Though these petitions come from different walks, their message is uniform: Washington has not been listening. Politicians in Washington have imposed an agenda that doesn’t reflect the priorities of the people. What’s worse, the most important decisions are made behind closed doors, where a flurry of backroom deals has supplanted the will of the people. It’s time to do away with the old politics: that much is clear. It’s not enough, however, to swap out one set of leaders for another. Structure dictates behavior, so we have drafted this blueprint on a process of listening to the American people and fielding their concerns and ideas for turning things around.
