Suspicious Non-Campaigns

I had hinted at this in a May 29th post on this blog, "Opponent's Non-Campaign," but that was pretty much tongue-in-cheek as the Republican candidate just came out of nowhere to appear on the ballot in the last hours of the last day of filing, but his "non-campaign" then seems like an actual non-campaign, now.  It's beginning to look like Doug Basler was put on the ballot to basically block any third party or independent candidate from getting a Top 2 slot in the General Election, namely to block my campaign, by merely appealing to the Republican party-line vote through just being on the ballot.
  1. Basler (R) has not responded to my debate call, so far, and neither has Don Rivers (D). 
  2. Basler, as far as I can see by checking websites, is not responding to questionnaires from political organizations. 
  3. If Basler is getting out and actually doing person-to-person campaigning, it's not readily apparent in the 9th Congressional District, but I have to admit that it's a lot of territory to notice any one campaign.
This almost reminds me of my first ever campaign against the incumbent in my district for a state legislative seat that nobody else would run against, when suddenly a 3rd candidate filed not long after I did.  The third person did absolutely nothing in the way of campaigning, though it's hard to prove with any 100% certainty that he was in cahoots to divide up the anti-incumbent vote with supporters of the incumbent or the incumbent himself, but him doing nothing looked suspicious. 

And so do non-campaigns, today.

Globalist Folly

We tried to get by without ever mentioning Colin Kaepernick's name on our blogs or websites, but the fake news media is running with the ball, so to speak, so just to let them know that their, Kaepernick's  and LeBron James' propaganda doesn't work with the Revived Citizens Party, the RCP stands as follows: Starting with multimillionaire Kaepernick's decision last year to metaphorically thumb his nose at the National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," and to sit on the bench or kneel on a knee while the Anthem was playing, because he thinks America has too many faults or something like that, he became the Pied Piper of disrespecting national symbols, particularly the Anthem, apparently until the country yields to whatever his particular idea of what a nation should be is.  However, even if Kaepernick's concerns do merit some kind of national rectification, which they may well indeed, when would our natio...

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

Fool Them

Weakness and Strongness The computer put a red line under "strongness" in my subtitle.  Too bad, I like it, so I'm keeping that "non-word." Call it my invention, if you will.  You cannot imagine the emotions that welled up in me last night watching an old 1980s movie called "St. Elmo's Fire."  It's a movie that I never saw at the time that it first ran, circa 1985, but kind of watched it since then, off and on, after it aged 20 years or so, and began seeing it on television from time to time.  Last night, I came upon it about 15 minutes from the start, and watched it more closely than ever until the end.  I love the theme music, though non-lyrical, it's part of the magic of the movie, I believe.  In the 80s, I was just slightly older than the main characters in the movie.  It really brought back a lot of memories from that decade, particularly a period from the years 1980 - 1981, and it...
