Don Rivers: Not Ready For Prime Time

One of my competitors for the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the 9th District is Don Rivers (D).  I have written about the incongruity of Rivers' filing with the Federal Election Commission on this and another blog before, however, now, after viewing Rivers' Statement of Organization with the F.E.C., I have a clear understanding of why he was listed in the 7th District, previously.  Simply put, Mr. Rivers is not ready for prime time.  He listed "7th or 9th" on his statement, believe it or not, in February of this year, apparently not knowing which district he lived in after the 2011 redistricting took place.  Now, finding out what district you live in -- even after redistricting -- is not particularly hard work.  For one thing, virtually all voters received a new registration card after the new lines were drawn.  For another, about 5 minutes worth of research on Google would do the trick.  However, if a person is not particularly computer savvy, or did not get a new registration card or lost it, a phone call to either the King County Elections Department in Renton, the Pierce County Auditor's Office in Tacoma, or the Secretary of State's Office in Olympia would work just as well.

You would think anybody running for public office would be following redistricting matters, anyway, as if it were almost an obsession -- you would think.  I am not going to dwell on this much more except to say that you do not want a congressperson who cannot even figure out what district he is living in before filing important paperwork, because congresspersons are responsible for a lot of administrative work, among other duties.  If, by some miracle, Mr. Rivers does find himself taking the oath of office in the U.S. Capitol in January of 2015, for the sake of our 9th District, I only hope he has some very top-notch secretaries and executives working for him.

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

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...
