Campaign themes
2012
Fenton's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Civil Liberties
- "Our government is systematically destroying our freedoms guaranteed by the US CONSTITUTION. It's time for people to take back the government that is rescinding the rights established by our founding father's and reduce corporate dominance of our legislative branch."
- Farming
- "Our local state government is subsidizing large corporations to plant GMO crops on Hawaii's prime agricultural land which has even included human DNA mixed with Corn crops. End Frankenfood products, grant relief to organic farmers, small farm owners, and create sustainable farming practices. Legalize and tax marijuana and hemp to provide funding for the state government."
- Taxation
- "The cost of living in Hawaii is too high and increased taxes on small business and working people is not what is needed. What is needed is fiscal restraint, cutting waste, and preventing excessive government intrusion into our lives."
- Religious freedom
- "Churches and religious institutions are being attacked legislatively. New laws are being introduced that violate their conscience and traditional values. Restore the right of religious institutions to practice their faith without interference or coercion."
- Schools
- "Raise public teaching standards and encourage beneficial programs which give parents more choices on how to educate their children."
