Emil Svrcina, originally from the Czech Republic, which was part of Czechoslovakia when he was there, believes strongly in the light on the hill that the U.S. once was. He is running for Hawaii House District 37 (Mililani, Waikele) as a Republican. The incumbent is Ryan Yamane, Democrat.
In a campaign letter to his district residents mentioning the above interview, Emil wrote in part:
"We are experiencing real dangers in the world and our government is not reacting satisfactorily. There is a influx of immigrants in numbers that are overwhelming our ability to assimilate them. Many of them are sick with diseases that have been nearly eradicated in our country. The ebola outbreak is spreading and our ability to cure it has statistically low rate of success. We are warned that there is a possibility of another 9/11 type attack. With our open borders, terrorists are infiltrating with legitimate refugees. The recent news of an Army General being killed in Afghanistan continues to bring bad news home.
"Our children are getting out of schools deeply in debt, with few employable skills, and with no job in sight. The silence from our Democratic leaders is deafening. They seem bewildered about what to do. The are turning Hawaii into another Detroit with overspending; New York City and Hong Kong with their high rises spoiling our views; and Chicago with the rail eyesore and noise and the increasing crime rate. They are changing our tropical paradise into an urban ghetto.
"The Clear Choice is yours.
"Vote for a continued slide into poverty and show weakness to our enemies which entices them to attack us;
"Or
"Vote for a man of action and substance who will work to establish policies that improve the economy, schools and provide peace in our state and throughout the world.
"In this life, nothing lasts forever, neither this year's campaign nor your opportunity to stand up with me and show all Hawai'i and the world, that your vote makes a difference. To bring positive change to our community, you must get involved now. Once the election is over, if number of your votes is not enough, we will have to wait another two years to turn the tide from same downward trends in the economy, education, and healthcare. Vote for prosperity and merit. The status quo is not good enough.
"Please don't forget what happened here 238 years ago as I have shared."
