February 18, 2003

I know sometimes coming off of a big event like our recent Lincoln Day Dinner, we kind of have a little let down considering our next main events are the upcoming County Conventions in March along with a couple Kuhio Day Dinners on Maui and the Big Island.  But we need to stick together and continue our momentum.  I strongly urge you all to continue meeting at least once a month in your Districts to keep in touch with one another and to begin your focus on how we can elect more Republicans to office next year.  It's really not that far away when you really think about it.

We have already begun our candidate recruitment efforts to find good, qualified people to run for office.  So if you have someone in mind, talk to them or let us know and we can begin the discussions.  You know your district the best and you know the people that make your community go.  Don't be afraid to talk to them, because sometimes that's all they have been waiting for: the opportunity.  Well that opportunity is here.

Please also be on the look out for State Convention information that I will be sending out to you via email over the next few weeks.  These State Convention updates will help you get a head start on making your travel and hotel reservations for the Convention to make your experience on the Big Island as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.  Delegate Packets will be sent to all Delegates and Alternates in the mail during the first two weeks of March.

Have a great week!

Aloha,
Brennon T. Morioka

    Kimo Kaloi For Congress Website

Aloha to friends, ohana and fellow members of the Hawaii Chinese Coalition!  As the only major candidate of Chinese decent, I am writing to introduce my congressional agenda and seek your vote and support in my effort to represent Hawaii in the U.S. Congress

I was born and raised on Oahu and the Big Island.  I went to the mainland to attend George Mason University and Brigham Young University Law School.  My career has allowed me work in the U.S. Congress for the past five years - most recently I was appointed as the first Director of Native Hawaiian Affairs in the U.S. Congress. 

Along with my oversight of the issue of Native Hawaiian Recognition, I worked with the Bush Administration to shape the re-negotiation of the Compacts of Free Association with the Republic of the Marshall Islands and Federated States of Micronesia. I also led the passage of the Homeowner Protection Act that saves Hawaii's homeowners thousands of dollars each year.

Six Republican Members of Congress have endorsed me, including four House Chairmen and Senator Orrin Hatch.  I am an advocate for tax cuts to nurture growth, homeland security, federal recognition for Native Hawaiians, prescription drug benefits for senior citizens and ensuring full federal funding for special education.  I want Hawaii to have balanced representation in Congress, and a strong partnership with the Bush Administration. 

For too long, the 2nd District has gone without consistent and accessible constituent services. I pledge to provide quality services in three District offices-one on Oahu and two on neighbor islands.  I will hold frequent district town meetings and regularly communicate with you.  I will also provide quality internships, staff positions and other professional opportunities for our young people in Hawaii and Washington, D.C.  As a member of the Congressional Asian and Pacific Islander Association, I saw first hand the difficulty in cultivating the next generation of Republican leaders because of the lack of jobs available to them on Capitol Hill.  This must change!

I hope you will take time to learn more about me, about my congressional agenda and why it's time to 'Steer a New Course for Hawaii.'  You can learn more about me at
www.kaloi.com, or call my office at 808-262-9500.  Let your vote make the difference on January 4, 2003. 

Mahalo!
Kimo Kaloi
Candidate

December 24, 2002 - Message from Incoming Hawaii GOP Chairman

Aloha to my fellow Republican Members and Supporters:

As the new Chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party, I want to bring your attention to an opportunity that has not come along too often in Hawaii's history since statehood.  We have the very real possibility of electing a Republican to Congress to represent the people of Hawaii.  On January 4th, there will be a Special Election in the Second Congressional District to fill the seat recently held by the late Patsy Mink.  The Second District includes the Neighbor Islands, as well as, the Windward Side, North Shore and Waianae Coast of Oahu.

Last month, the people of Hawaii took an enormous step in choosing who should lead our State into the future by electing our new Republican Governor, Linda Lingle.  And yet the Democrat Party apparently does not hear the voices of Hawaii's people because they continue to offer us many of the old familiar names intertwined with all of the corruption associated with the Democrat Party and the "Old Boy Network".

All of Hawaii needs to be represented in Congress, not just those in Honolulu, and not just the Democrats.  We Republicans deserve to have our voices heard in Washington, as well, on the issues that concern us the most.  No one running as a Democrat can or will do that for us.  I ask your help to bring true representation to this state.

Hawaii needs a Republican Congressman who can work with a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and a Republican President.  I urge you help bring accountability to our State by considering one of our qualified Republican candidates.

For your convenience, I have enclosed a list of Republican Candidates with websites for the second congressional district special election.  For a complete listing of candidates for the January 4th Special Election, you can also go on-line at www.hawaii.gov/elections/cand/candidates4.  If you have a moment, please take the time to review their respective
qualifications.  Your support on January 4, 2003 will make the difference.

Mahalo for your time.

Brennon T. Morioka, Chairman
Hawaii Republican Party

December 20, 2002 - Message from Outgoing Hawaii GOP Chairman

Aloha:

Well, Gang, we are coming to the end of a very exciting and eventful year.  As a Party, we have taken some enormous steps in bringing balance to Hawaii politics by winning the Governor's seat, picking up two more seats in the State Senate to bring our number up to five, and two more Republican Mayors bringing that number up to three out of four counties.  We are very hopeful about our future and the type of leadership Governor Lingle will provide our State.  Under Governor Lingle's leadership, we will truly improve life in Hawaii for all kama`aina.

I want to take this time to inform all of our members that this past Saturday, I stepped down as Chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party to take on a new challenge in my life as Director of Hawaiian Home Lands.  It has been a pleasure and a great honor to serve you as your Executive Director and Chairman.  I have learned much from each and everyone of our members and it will be these lessons learned that will continue to help shape me as a person throughout my life.

The State Committee voted unanimously to install Dr. Brennon Morioka as the interim Chairman to serve out the remainder of this term.  Brennon has also served the Party well as an officer on the State Executive Committee, and more recently, as our Finance Director during this past year.  We have all the confidence in Brennon and I ask you to offer him the same type of support that you all have so unselfishly given me over the past four years.

I will continue to be vigilant in my efforts to help the Party grow and build upon our current momentum.  The Party has the opportunity to play an integral role in the way Hawaii goes about its business and we must now demonstrate the type of leadership that we said we would.

I will be notifying the public through various media sources in the coming week about our Party's transition, but wanted to give our Republican Ohana a heads-up before it occurred.

On behalf of my family, I want to thank you for giving me some of the best experiences in my life and allowing me to be a part of Hawaii's political history.  I will always remember my time here as Chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party.

Aloha and Mahalo,

Micah A. Kane


 

December 2, 2002 - Republican Governor Linda Lingle Inaugural Banquet (by invitation only) at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel

               

               

               

Former Sen. Hiram Fong (visit Midweek Magazine for Complete Story) recalls the time a half century ago when Republicans were Hawaii’s dominant party, and sees the GOP rising again.

    

On Oct. 15, 2002, Hiram Leong Fong celebrated his 96th birthday. He may well be the oldest living Republican in the Hawaiian Islands. He most certainly can claim the highest office ever achieved by a Republican in Hawaii: Fong served in the United States Senate from 1959 to 1977.

And, for the first time in years, Fong and his fellows are finding it great to be a Republican in Hawaii. This fall, after a 40-year gubernatorial drought, Hawaii’s Republicans — behind former Maui Mayor Linda Lingle — won the governor’s office.

“Hirono didn’t have time to make people forget all the shenanigans the Democrats have been up to,” says Fong. “After 50 years, people were tired of the Democrats’ dominance."

Fong himself did what he could to help; he sent out fund-raising letters on behalf of the Lingle campaign.

Although they won the governorship in 2002, Hawaii’s Republicans didn’t do so well down the ticket. They lost four of their 19 seats in the state House, and picked up only two seats in the state Senate. Winning the vacant 2nd District congressional seat remains a long-shot for the GOP.

Hiram Fong knew a time when the Republican Party dominated every aspect of Island politics.

In the 1900 election, the first following annexation of Hawaii to the United States, Hawaii’s voters — mostly native Hawaiians — gave control of both houses of the territorial Legislature to candidates of the Home Rule Party. They also elected Home Ruler Robert Wilcox to the only territory-wide elected position: Hawaii’s non-voting delegate-to-Congress.

As the name implied, the Home Rule Party sought at least “Hawaii for the Hawaiians” and perhaps a return to independent status for the Islands. At the first session of the territorial Legislature, Home Rule representatives insisted on speaking in the Hawaiian language.

That was enough for the Republican businessmen who dominated the territory’s economy and who had engineered the overthrow of the kingdom in 1893. They sought out Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole to carry the Republican standard in 1902 as the GOP’s candidate for delegate-to-Congress. Kuhio agreed. The deal with Prince Kuhio cemented Republican control of Hawaii politics for the next 52 years.

The Home Rule Party disappeared in short order, and the Republicans enjoyed huge majorities in the territorial Legislature. In the 1905, 1911, 1927, 1931 and 1939 territorial legislatures, Republicans numbered 28 of the 30-member House. Twice, in the 1915 and 1923 sessions, a single Democrat tried to make himself heard over 29 Republicans.

Republican margins in the territorial Senate were equally lop-sided. Five times between 1901 and 1957, Republicans occupied 14 of the 15 seats in the territorial Senate. Once, during the 1923 session, they owned them all.

Republicans held almost as firm a hold on the one territory-wide elective office, that of non-voting delegate-to-Congress. Prince Kuhio held the delegateship for 10 terms, until his death in 1922. Democrat Billy Jarrett won two terms in the mid-1920s, and Democrat Link McCandless got one term in the Franklin Roosevelt-Great Depression landslide of 1932. Otherwise, the delegate record reads completely Republican until 1956 and John A. Burns’s win over Republican incumbent Elizabeth Farrington.

Hiram Fong’s early life was hardly that of a member of the plutocratic wing of the Republican Party. His father, Lum Fong, had come to Hawaii in the 1870s to work in Hawaii’s sugar fields. His mother, Chai Ha, arrived when she was 10 years old to live with an aunt. She found work as a maid.

Their marriage was arranged, and it had a rocky start. Soon after the ceremony, Chai Ha had second thoughts. She ran away for three days, but was persuaded to return to her husband. She settled down and had 13 children with Lum Fong, 11 of whom survived.

The Fongs lived on the outskirts of Kalihi across from Kalihi Union Church, where a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant now stands. “They were very, very poor,” says Michaelyn Chou, Fong’s biographer. “Lum Fong worked for Pacific Guano and Fertilizer Company, shoveling fertilizer most of his life. Chai Ha had to boil her own water. There was no money for a refrigerator.

“The family was very Chinese. No one sat down to eat until Lum Fong had come home from work, cleaned up, and taken his place at the table. They paid him respect.”

Son Hiram Leong was born in 1906, and 96 years later he dismisses the poverty. “My father had nothing,” he admits. “He was an illiterate laborer. But the sugar plantations and Hawaii offered opportunity to raise a family and make a comfortable living.”

The Fongs’ growing family required that all contributed. The young Hiram shined shoes, sold newspapers, caddied at the country club, and caught crabs and fish to sell. “I was a real Kalihi boy,” he says.

He was also an orator. At Kalihi-Waena Elementary School the principal often tapped Fong to recite patriotic speeches. “He was a big kid with a deep voice,” says biographer Chou, “and he seemed to like being in the public eye. His sisters claim he seldom studied, but he had a very good memory. If he read something once, he remembered it.”

Fong attended McKinley High School, graduating with the famous class of 1924 along with future financiers Chinn Ho and Hung Wai Ching and future Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Masaji Marumoto. To earn money for college, Fong went to work in the supply department at Pearl Harbor. He entered the University of Hawaii in 1927.

“Sen. Fong already showed good political instincts while at the university,” says his biographer. “He decided to run for the editorship of Ka Leo, the student newspaper. It was a close election, but he called on all his fellow ROTC members to support him and he won. He was also on the university debate team — a very natural thing for him to do.”

After graduating with honors from the university in 1930, Fong once again had to go to work, this time as a clerk in the city water department. The job was a piece of political patronage from Republican Mayor Fred Wright for whom Fong had campaigned that year. Two years later, after having put $2,000 in savings, he applied to Harvard Law School.

“I wrote to my classmate who was up there, Allen Hawkins, and asked him to find me a cheap room,” Fong remembers. “All I could get into it was a bed, a chair and a desk; but it was only $10 a month. Allen said ‘your room is so small, I have to step outside to change my mind.’”

Fong returned to Hawaii every summer where he continued to enjoy the patronage of Mayor Wright; there was always a job waiting for him with the city. After receiving his law degree in 1935, the city attorney created a third deputy’s position in order to provide Fong with a job.

Hiram Fong became a Republican because of Honolulu Supervisor Pat Gleason. In territorial Hawaii there were only three Oahu-wide elected offices in the Islands: sheriff, mayor and delegate-to-Congress.

In 1928 Gleason was the Republican candidate against Democrat David Trask for the office of sheriff. A friend asked Fong if he would speak on Gleason’s behalf at political rallies around Oahu.

Fong was known as a good public speaker in an era when public speaking was at a premium. The crowds at Hawaii political rallies ranged from the hundreds to thousands. Often voters would sit through dozens of candidate speeches.

“There were no sound systems in those days,” says Fong. “The candidate with the loudest voice picked up the most votes.

“I went from one place to another extolling the virtues of Pat Gleason,” Fong remembers. “On Saturdays and Sundays they sent me to the country, to Kaneohe, to speak for him. And he beat Trask.”

Besides loud oratory, Island rallies in the pre-television era featured local food and “lots of island music. Every candidate had a musical group and dancers,” says Fong. “There was no door-to-door campaigning in those days. We went to the rallies, listened to the speeches and the music, and passed out our cards.”

The cards became collectibles, similar to milk bottle caps. The candidate’s picture appeared on one side of the card, his qualifications and promises on the other. Kids flipped each other for the other fellow’s stack of cards. Face-up won.

In the fall of 1938, the face of 32-year-old deputy city attorney Hiram Fong was on one of those cards. Fong ran as a Republican for the territorial House from Oahu’s Fifth district — everything ewa of Nuuanu stream.

“Oahu elected representatives from the 4th, six from the 5th,” Fong remembers. “The 4th was the silk stocking district; the 5th was the poor man’s district.

“Ethnicity played a bigger role then. Everybody was plunking for their boy; if they were Portuguese they’d vote for the Portuguese candidates — but nobody else.”

Apparently there were enough Chinese plunking for their boy in 1938, for Fong won a seat in the territorial House. The Republicans owned a 28-2 majority over the Democrats in the 1939 Legislature, but Fong still got off on the wrong foot.

“Roy Vitousek was the mouthpiece for the Big Five firms in the Legislature and their candidate for Speaker,” says Fong. “I voted against him, because the playing field was not level in those days and I was a local boy. So Vitousek tried to prevent me from being seated, citing a rule that said an appointed city official could not hold state office.”

Fong refused to resign his seat and took his case to the courts. Eleven days into the session a judge’s ruling resulted in his being seated. Fong laughs. “I’ve been crazy all my life. All those big fellas were against me, but I was too dumb to know it.”

Not all of them were against him. Throughout his tenure in the territorial Legislature, Fong lead a group of independent, largely locally born Republicans. In the 1945 session, Fong made what he considers his most important contribution as a territorial legislator.

“I was always pretty liberal — always for the working man,” he remembers. “The ILWU’s Jack Hall came to see me as head of the House Judiciary Committee and asked for my support of the Little Wagner Act.” Fong gave it.

The Little Wagner Act, or Hawaii Labor Relations Act, extended collective-bargaining rights outside of the plantation mills into the sugar fields themselves, thus giving the ILWU the legal right to organize all the workers on the plantation. That they did in 1946, and they called the first industry-wide sugar strike.

The territorial House in Fong’s day could be a raucous place. The 1946 elections resulted in a 15-15 deadlock between Republicans and Democrats. A bitter contest ensued over the speakership.

“That’s when (Democratic leader) Charles Kauhane punched me,” Fong remembers. “But we were friends. Later, when his wife died, he asked me to give the eulogy at her funeral.”

In 1948 the Republicans regained a comfortable majority in the House, and they elected Fong their speaker, a post he would hold for the next three house sessions. But he faced a faction-ridden Republican caucus; representatives aligned with the Big Five, resenting his support for organized labor, always challenged him for the speakership.

In 1954 the Republicans’ half-century long string ran out. The Democratic Party, fueled by the energies of returned World War II veterans and organized labor, seized control of both houses of the territorial Legislature. “In the 5th District, only one Republican won,” says Fong. “All the rest were Democrats.” Hiram Fong was not the surviving Republican.

Fortunately, citizen Fong had other things to take up his time. He practiced law with the firm of Fong, Miho, Choy and Robinson. In 1952 Fong and businessmen Munon Chun, Daniel Lau, Clifford Yee, Fong Choy and Dr. L.Q. Pang had founded Finance Factors, a mortgage and thrift institution that would eventually become Hawaii’s second largest with assets of three-quarters of a billion dollars.

“None of us had any money,” he says. “We all borrowed from the banks to start the business.”

In 1959, with statehood, Hiram Fong’s mind turned once again to politics — most particularly to one of Hawaii’s seats in the United States Senate.

“I thought I’d just try for it,” he says. “I wanted to see if someone of Chinese ancestry would have a chance and to ease the way for future generations of Asians who might want to try for it.”

In the 1959 statehood election Republican Fong found himself facing Democrat Frank Fasi. The ILWU harbored no love for Fasi, and they remembered Fong’s help on the Little Wagner Act. With ILWU support, Hiram Leong Fong became the first Chinese-American to ever sit in the United States Senate.

“I was a moderate United States senator,” says Fong. “Many of the conservative Southern senators who had voted against statehood for Hawaii liked me because I was fiscally conservative. Many of the liberal Democrats approved of me because I was with them on civil rights legislation.”

But with one Democrat Fong could find too little common ground. “Dan Inouye tried to beat me every time I ran,” says Fong. “He wanted to be the senior senator from Hawaii.”

Fong cites a $500 million allocation to construct the H-1 freeway, funding for the construction of the East-West Center adjacent to the University of Hawaii, lobbying for more equitable immigration quotas for non-Europeans, and inserting a clause requiring poll watchers in the mid-1960s civil rights legislation as his greatest Senate accomplishments.

But as his third term drew to a close in 1976, the then 71-year-old Fong decided to come home.

“I didn’t want to die in office,” he remembers. “And I’d find myself every weekend in Washington asking myself ‘What am I doing here?’ I should be on my farm in Hawaii. My paradise.”

Fong’s farm is officially known as Sen. Fong’s Plantation and Gardens, a 700-acre spread of tropical foliage in Kahaluu open to tours. But in December 2002, it isn’t paradise anymore; rather, it is just one part of a messy financial tragedy in which Fong and his children are enmeshed.

At 96, Fong has watched his eldest son descend into bankruptcy, finds himself and his wife, Ellyn, being sued by another of his sons over control of a family business, fends off lawsuits that could result in his losing his beloved Plantation and Gardens, and has been forced to give up his Windward Oahu home because of mortgage problems.

Yet Fong refuses to despair. He has said he expects to overcome these difficulties, and continues to go out to the farm on weekends. And each weekday morning at 8:30 he commutes from his Alewa Heights home to his Finance Factors office where he puts in a full day.

In the main, his health is good: “I never smoked or drank. Ginger ale and soda water are my only vices. I have no special diet. I eat all kinds of things.”

His kidneys have shut down, so Fong must spend four hours on a dialysis machine three times a week.

But he remains good-humored and upbeat.

“I’ve had fun all the way,” he says. “It’s been worth it. I tell young people to get all the education they can and to think positively. Your state of mind has a lot to do with your physical health.”

November 6, 2002

Linda Lingle won a historic victory last night to become Hawaii’s first woman governor and the first Republican to hold the office in 40 years

Lingle/Aiona beat Democratic opponent with 197,009 votes, or 52 percent, vs. 47 percent, or 179,647 votes, for her Democratic opponent Lt. Gov. Mazie Hirono.

Lingle, the 49-year old former Maui mayor, started running for governor shortly after barely losing to Gov. Ben Cayetano four years ago.

She drove a focused campaign aimed at that stronghold of the Democratic Party, the office of governor.

The state’s last Republican governor was William Quinn, who lost the office in 1962.

Go to the Star-Bulletin link for the COMPLETE report

November 5, 2002

Apparently the picture of Pres. Bill Clinton holding a jacket that read Linda Lingle and Duke Aiona – "A New Beginning" – originated as a joke within the Hawaii Government Employers Association. The HGEA was the organizer that flew Clinton to Hawaii at a cost of $100,000 to rally for Lt. Gov. Mazie Hirono and is the organizational force behind Hirono's campaign.

But when an employee sent the picture out of the office via email to the Union News Network (UNN writers are supporters of Lingle and Aiona), the picture didn't look so funny anymore –- especially plastered across the cover of the most recent edition of UNN.

Sources at UNN say Russell Okada, head of the HGEA, was so mad about the picture that he threatened to sue UNN. UNN reportedly said something back to the effect of "Too bad so sad."
