Not the Most Common Sense, However

Adam Smith stood up in front of the Seattle Times Editorial Board on July 7th and said he was the most qualified candidate of the lot.  Smith has a law degree and he's been in Congress long enough that he knows how it works -- who wouldn't with that amount of time?  However, Smith's degrees didn't stop him from voting for the dismantling of the Glass-Steagall Act, or Bush's invasion plans for Iraq, or nullifying habeas corpus protections as established in the Bill of Rights, or being in the opposition to the Amash-Conyers Amendment that tried to put some checks on an overreaching N.S.A., or from making a number of other congressional votes that defied good common sense and the will of the majority of his constituents.  By the way, I was opposite of Smith in regards to my position on all of the votes shown here, before the vote, and most of those positions of mine are on record in some source, primarily blogs and newspapers.

GMO Labeling I-1456 Is Still Active

Lieutenant Governor candidate Mark Greene is the sponsor of the current, active GMO labeling  Initiative 1456  (Maddy Reiman is co-sponsor), and the initiative committee still needs a bunch of signatures before July 8th to get this on the ballot.  The only logical way that enough signatures can be gathered, especially at this late date, is for 570 people to volunteer to get 570 signatures each, and they must be gathered before  July 5th  so that there will be enough time to mail them to the Federal Way headquarters, and then processed and taken to Olympia just a few days later . If possible, please, write today or tomorrow and make a firm commitment to get at least 500 signatures, and you can do this by delegating other volunteers to get the aggregate 500 - 570 signatures you will need.     Remember, 4th of July activities and parades are just around the corner, so this would be an ideal time to take advantage of the large crowds at that time.  Time is short, so the

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.]

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
