Carroll Runs For Senate

Online, October 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - John Carroll announced this run for the U.S. Senate from Hawaii as a Republican.

Next year, voters will have an opportunity to balance a Hawaii congressional delegation that has been dominated by liberal Democrats.

"I have the experience needed to do this job and will bring a consistent set of conservative values that I share with so many of Hawaii's people," said Carroll.

"Our country has taken a turn in the wrong direction, and we need to restore a sense of shared values and national purpose."

Carroll was elected 5 times to the Hawaii State Legislature, had an extensive military career as a jet fighter pilot, an airline captain with Hawaiian Airlines and now practices law in Honolulu.

John offers a practical brand of conservatism, and has been consistent on important issues:

1. Lower Hawaii's High Cost of Living by seeking relief from the archaic Jones Act.

2. Restore Ideological Balance on the National Agenda, by giving a voice to those in Hawaii who do not believe in the liberal policies espoused by all of our congressional delegation.

3. Re-invigorate The National and State Economy, by tax reduction, de-regulation and promotion of the principles of our free enterprise system.

4. Demand Fiscal Accountability from local and national government. Cut costs and eliminate waste before incurring more debt or resorting to taxation.

5. Overhaul the Federal Tax Code. The existing tax laws have become convoluted, complex and unfair. We should seek simplification, a national sales or flat tax alternative, and eliminate the income tax and IRS

6. Adherence to the Integrity of Constitutional Law. Personal freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution are not negotiable; and not subject to judicial "modification."

7. Re-establish Sustainable Agriculture and Aquaculture in Hawaii. Once a model for sustainability and self-sufficiency, Hawaii is now almost totally dependent on expensive imports for food and energy.

8. Fight the "Dumbing Down" of America and Hawaii. Our public education system has failed generations of young Americans and has hastened the decline of our ability to compete globally.

9. Defend our Island Values and Environment. Hawaii's unique resources and ecosystem must be protected for future generations.

10. Kanaka Maoli Justice. Resist the race-based "define and separate" policies inherent in the proposed Akaka Bill, and release land, in fee, directly to qualified native Hawaiians.
