Our Philosophy
We, the Hawai'i Republican Party, support the historic concept of our Constitutional Republic, established by our nation's founders. We oppose the concept that the state is sovereign over the affairs of men, the family, or the church. We believe that government properly exists by the consent of the governed and must be restrained from intruding into the freedoms of its citizens. The function of government is not to grant rights, but to protect the unalienable, God-given rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness of all.
We are grateful for divine guidance, and mindful of our Hawaiian heritage and uniqueness as an Island state, dedicate our efforts to fulfill the philosophy decreed by the Hawaiʻi State motto,"Ua Mau ke Ea o ka 'Āina i ka Pono" (The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness).
Our Commitment
Affirming our belief in God, we still hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness and Property ownership.
"Throughout the world, people dare to dream of freedom and opportunity. The Hawai'I Republican Party unequivocally defends that dream."
We strive to preserve the freedom given to us by God, implemented by our Founding Fathers, and embodied in the Constitution, to control our destiny, nurture the integrity of our people and culture, and preserve the quality of life that we desire.
We honor the leadership of our Republican forefathers who passionately believed and applied these principles and values so well with special appreciation for the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole, and President Ronald Reagan.
