Finally, A Thousand Pageviews, Plus an Old Controversial Election

The "Reliability" Blog is Growing Stronger and Just In Time for Primary Election
 
Reliability just got a thousand pageviews within a 30-day period for the first time as more people are becoming interested in the Washington Primary Election that's just around the corner.  The ballots will be mailed out in mid-July and the election results displayed on August 5.  I have a feeling that, finally, there will be a little redemption, through my electoral success this year, for the stolen 2004 Republican Primary, in which I was denied a rightful victory due to the incompetence of former Director of Elections in King County, Dean Logan. 

I realize, of course, that it's not politically correct for politicians to complain about their election losses  -- you know, just let them steal it and say nothing -- but I'm not one for being quiet about wrongdoing in regards to our democracy, even if it appears self-serving, because in rare instances being such is just being right and standing up for the community at large, as well as the nation at large, in which it is essential to have fairly contested elections.  Nonetheless, I have always stressed since making this controversy publicly known that Rep. Adam Smith was an unwitting beneficiary of his facing a misapplied General Election challenger that year. 
 
I have posted a host of information on these various blogs to show that the 2004 primary results in King County were, at the very least, shady.  It's a fact that I led the count in two of the three 9th Congressional District counties on poll day (back when there were polls) at the time, including the most populous county for the district (the overall count was a practical tie), but somehow I didn't even make it to 47% without rounding up in the final official count.  That fact, however, is just incidental information, there's a lot more to it.  Please, write U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, Jenny Durkan, and request that her office makes all information about the '04 primary public through a general press release.  The mainstream news media is continuing to do their level best to keep a lid on this old controversial primary, especially around election time, so that the facts will never be widely known, but it's up to me and the good citizens of the Old and New 9th Congressional District to make sure that they become widely known. 

Thanks.

The question of the month: will Smith debate?

Inspired by Turn-of-the-Twentieth Century President, President Theodore Roosevelt

I am trying to revive the old Citizens Party that was, in its existence in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, environmentally and socially conscious, economically progressive, and was trying to counter the so-called two party system that was then and is now more accountable to big business interests than the people at large that continually vote for it. Even Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, trust-buster and environmentally conscious, saw the need to shake up the Republican/Democratic domination of politics by starting the "Bull Moose" Party when he was out of office during the second decade of the 20th century. We can do the same in this second decade of this century, but we're going to have to break out of the "familiarity breeds comfort" pattern, because right now the familiar means spending a lot of money on boondoggles that have nothing to do with either domestic tranquility or real defense, and we, as Americans, just going by the little that I already k...

Mark Greene for Federal Way Mayor

I am officially announcing for Mayor of Federal Way, today, as I was able to obtain sufficient resources to file with the Elections Department on May 18th, 2017, and able to run a full campaign until the August 1st Primary, and hopefully beyond. This All-American Relief campaign will start picking up steam around the beginning of June, as now I'm concentrating on getting about 100 signs on the ground.  Next week, I will be sending out press releases to the major publications in our area: the  Times , the  News Tribune , and the  Mirror.   For more information about this campaign of common sense philosophy and patriotic fervor, see my website and keep up with the posts on this blog, as they usually come about twice a week or more. -- Mark Greene, Official Candidate for Mayor of Federal Way Campaign Website:  ALL-AMERICAN RELIEF Campaign Blog:   FW Politics
