- Kawika Crowley. Political Stand. “Clearly Washington has become dysfunctional. We are at present suffering from a huge epidemic in Washington...it is called Obese Big Government. It is a government out of control, drunk on the Kool Aide of Big Spending. Laws imposed on us citizens require us to make sure we don't write checks with insufficient funds in our bank accounts. We can go to prison for failure to do so. But congress can get away with it. As we close in on a national debt of 16 Trillion dollars, we are indeed a wild drunk stallion galloping closer and closer to the edge of the cliff […] Government, both here and in Washington needs to go on a major diet. If I'm elected, I will introduce legislation to begin slimming down bloated governmental agencies. Bureaucracies such as the Dept. of Education, Dept. of Energy, the EPA, Dept of Agriculture and so many others that siphon away HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of tax payer monies each year, must be reigned in and cut down to size.” (www.kawika4congress.com)

That is the biggest problem today, is a massive federal government […] That's an issue for me […] reduce the size of the federal, fat, government.” (www.youtube.com)

- Kawika Crowley. Honolulu Civil Beat. 2012 Congressional District 2 Survey.

What steps would you take as a U.S. Representative to mitigate the effects of global warming?” (www.civilbeat.com)

Collateral Damage to civilians? I swear, had we fought WWII in the Politically Correct manner we fight our enemies today, we'd all be speaking German, Japanese, or Italian!!! BTW, only 2 things Obama has done right in his entire presidency is taking out the scumbag Ben Laden, and increasing the use of Drones.” to the question: “President Obama has significantly increased the use of drones to assassinate terrorist targets. The policy has been criticized for denying due process rights for at least one American target, and for the collateral killing of civilians.
