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.

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

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
