Citizens Campaign Swings Through One of Ninth District's Biggest Downtowns

Non-Smith Democrats Reject Rivers and Join Citizens Coalition

Today, I was shaking hands, discussing politics and passing out campaign cards in and around the intersection of 320th & Pacific Highway, the heart of the City of Federal Way, and the reception that I got was hugely positive.  The people are so sick of the major parties that they'll vote for anything else.  One woman said that she agreed with most of what I had to say, and she's looking forward to voting in the primary, presumably for me.  With feckless government policies that have brought widespread cynicism to the American people, the people are beginning to understand that the best way towards the overall revitalization of the nation is to put in new parties and independents.  Non-Smith Democrats are not about to vote for a cranky Don Rivers, who has about as much chance of overtaking Adam Smith in the primary as winning the Powerball jackpot.  However, these Democrats will vote for me, realizing that I am for the common man and woman, and not a water-carrier for big business special interests, and also realizing that I am the only candidate besides Smith that can draw more votes than the Republican candidate, and thereby with a decent shot for being in the Top 2.  Nonetheless, it'll be close between me and the Republican candidate for 2nd place in the August 5th primary.

-- Mark Greene, Candidate for U.S. Representative, 9th Congressional District of Washington

Inspired by Turn-of-the-Twentieth Century President, President Theodore Roosevelt

I am trying to revive the old Citizens Party that was, in its existence in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, environmentally and socially conscious, economically progressive, and was trying to counter the so-called two party system that was then and is now more accountable to big business interests than the people at large that continually vote for it. Even Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, trust-buster and environmentally conscious, saw the need to shake up the Republican/Democratic domination of politics by starting the "Bull Moose" Party when he was out of office during the second decade of the 20th century. We can do the same in this second decade of this century, but we're going to have to break out of the "familiarity breeds comfort" pattern, because right now the familiar means spending a lot of money on boondoggles that have nothing to do with either domestic tranquility or real defense, and we, as Americans, just going by the little that I already k...

The "D" Halo

Mission Impossible:   Trying to Get Democrats to Disaffect from Corporate Democrats I was a little shocked when the Young Democrats from Pierce County invited me to be a part of their endorsement process for the 9th District Congress office.  Imagine, Democratic activists, of all people, not giving the corporate incumbent congressman, who has a "D" next to his name, a free pass to another two years in Congress.   I got over my shock and answered their questionnaire, and now I'm waiting for their decision. Little has been more nerve wracking in this campaign for Congress than for Democrats in this now overwhelmingly Democratic district to tell me they're effectively going to vote for Adam Smith because he has a "D" next to his name, the party-line vote.  Smith votes for more bad legislation that ordinary Democrats would disagree with than you can shake a stick at, but he gets a pass because most people don't know how he v...
