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

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...

Moneypolitics

I'm always behind the curve, time wise, in seeing the best movies, but I just saw Moneyball with Brad Pitt about a couple of weeks ago.  Suddenly, I started comparing politics with baseball, again, as I did with "Leo's Maxim" some time ago.  In Moneyball, basically, the Brad Pitt character had to deal with the lowest budget, or close to it, of all the other major league teams in baseball, yet also try to build a competing team for the American League championship.  Pitt's character, Billy Beane, the General Manager, succeeded by making the playoffs in the year 2002 by having one of the best records in A.L. history, 103 victories, and setting the A.L. record for the most consecutive victories in history, 20 in a row. Beane and his Asst. General Manager devised a system of using statistics to overcome their money disadvantage and it proved that numbers can override money with persistence and strategy.  I believe that the same principle...

Smith's Votes

The following is a list of some of Congressman Adam Smith's worst votes in Congress:   1999:   Smith voted for Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act: the law that dismantled the Glass-Steagall Act which had separated financial institutions' commercial and investment branches from involvement with each other, and thereby kept customers' accounts from being exposed to risky banking gambits. 2008: Smith voted for U.S. - India Nuclear Agreement: this agreement undermined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act (N.P.T.), despite that this deal involves the energy sector, by cooperating on a nuclear level with a country that has long refused to sign the N.P.T. 2008: Smith voted for T.A.R.P., otherwise known as Wall Street Bailouts:  while Wall Street was giving their executives million dollar-plus bonuses, before and after the passage of T.A.R.P., the American taxpayer was footing the bill for this outlandish give-away of government money. 2011: Smith voted for...
