A Message to My Supporters

Hello, Friends of the Citizens Party and My Campaign for Congress:

I have a feeling that if I don't surprise the nation by winning the August 5 primary outright, it's going to be close for 2nd place between me and Doug Basler, and whoever gets 2nd will be taking on Adam Smith in the General Election.  Basler will have the benefit of a strong party-line vote since there are no other Republicans on the ballot. This so-called 2-party system, with scores of politicians around the nation shuffling back and forth doing service for both, is practically a sham in its present form, and one of the reasons why it needs to be dented, at least.

In the last two years, I have sought to overcome the 3rd party disadvantage by working harder than the other 3 candidates put together, and I am 100% sure that I have worked harder than any one of them.  I have been on the campaign trail for this election even before the last election for this seat ended.  I think two years of hard work, since August, 2012, is finally going to pay off next Tuesday evening.  Yet, Basler's party-line vote is going to be tough to overcome, so it will be close.  This is where my supporters come in, because with a few days left, there are still thousands of votes to be had, so if you can do one or two of the following, that would be a big help:

  1. Go on social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) in the final days and write "Mark Greene for Congress, Citizens Party" all over the place, but try to target this message as precisely as you can to the Puget Sound region (see 9th District cities on #4. on this list).
  2. Reach out to family members and friends whom you know are registered, but may be a little lackadaisical about voting.  Tell them you will loan or get them a stamp, if necessary, and mail their ballot for them.
  3. There's still time to write a quick "letter to the editor" to papers and get it published by August 5, but don't delay.
  4. If you have a lot of time on your hands, write a script promoting this citizens' & nation-oriented campaign, get a telephone book, and call up people in the following cities or areas: Bellevue, Mercer Island, S.E. Seattle, Newcastle, Tukwila, SeaTac, Des Moines, Renton, Kent, Federal Way, N.E. Tacoma.
  5. Send a donation of $10, or whatever you can afford, to "Mark Greene for Congress," P.O. Box 612, Bellevue, WA 98009.  My campaign presently has a Federal Election Commission file number.
  6. It doesn't hurt to remind people that my 2 opponents who are not the incumbent, Don Rivers and Doug Basler, refused to debate by omission (that would be Rivers) or made a poor excuse not to debate (that would be Basler) .
My friends, I know that you can make the difference or not in my reaching the Top 2, thereby my being in the General Election.  You have my appreciation just for being a supporter.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark Greene, candidate for U.S. Representative, 9th Congressional District, Citizens Party

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

Our Newest Blog

There's a new blog of ours called "Council" that started on 2/15/15.  This is the blog that you now want to check to keep up with the goings-on of the "Mark Greene for Federal Way City Council" campaign.  Not that you shouldn't keep checking this blog as well, but Revived Citizens Party will, from this time on, concentrate more on party matters, particularly, as opposed to the Council campaign, which is officially a non-partisan campaign.  The non-partisanship of local campaigns, generally, is decided by Washington law, although we realize, of course, that politicians like to hide their true colors behind official non-partisanship.  However, we're different in that respect, our blogs make it pretty clear that Mark Greene runs a third party and no longer affiliates at all with the major parties.  The "Top 2" primary that arose in Washington, circa 2008, made that possible. See Council campaign ...

Our Washington State Lieutenant Governor Candidate Blog

There will be a special place to write about the Lieutenant Governor 2016 election, which I'm in, and specifically Washington state issues and matters, generally, even when the election is over.  All of the recent Lieutenant Governor posts on FW Politics  will be carried over to the new blog, Washingtonian.   I am proud to be a natural-born American and a Washingtonian, and I will need your vote to stand up for the Common Man in our state and our nation.   [Originally posted on Washingtonian on April 29, 2016; revised on May 26, 2016.]
