Citizens Appeals to All Parties

The Press Gets It Half-Right, Again

Unless the press is trying to promote their favored candidate, they rarely get it 3-quarters right, let alone 100%.  The Federal Way Mirror referred to the Revived Citizens Party as "so-called."  Guess what?  "Party," as in political party, doesn't necessarily mean extravagant financial holdings, or having professional politicians holding office, or being genuflected to by the media, nor even being considered "bona fide" by the state and civic powers-that-be.  Party simply means a meeting of minds gathering together for a political purpose, i.e., 2 or 1,000,000, deciding to be a party to effect politics, and perhaps participating in the electoral process.  Maybe that's not the standard official dictionary definition, but it's close, and it appears the press, in general, could benefit from actually looking at dictionary definitions.

The Mirror, having made their predictable establishment endorsement for the incumbent, also said that my campaign appeals to some Democrats -- period.  Whether that's intended to mean that some Democrats tend to like my campaign or I'm just trying to appeal to them, I'm not sure, but probably the latter.  However, I'm not trying to appeal to just Democrats, but everybody.  The title of this blog, after all, is Reliability and The Coalition, and the Citizens Party is trying to build a coalition of Republicans, Democrats, Independents and other Third Parties to join the Citizens Party in this election to defeat Adam Smith and all other comers competing against me in this race for the 9th Congressional District seat.  We're not leaving anybody out as far as normal, fairly inclusive political identifications are concerned.  Everybody knows that the only way to defeat Adam Smith is through "Citizens" this year, and that, by and large, Democrats and Republicans are not going to vote for each other.

-- Mark Greene, candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, 9th Congressional District

Post script:  Dictionary.com's definition of "party:"
A group of persons with common political opinions and purposes organized for gaining political influence and governmental control and for directing government policy.

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...
