If America Dislikes Congress, There's a Very Funny Way of Showing It

According to conventional, popular wisdom, America dislikes Congress and thinks it is about the most unpopular institution in the nation.  Actually, no, that's only what Americans tell pollsters, how they really feel is how they vote, and going by the 97% - 98% re-election rates, at least on the House of Representatives side, but no lower than 90% on the Senate side, we would say that America loves Congress and the status quo, at least for now.

Mark Greene will probably never run for the House of Representatives, again, but will likely run for the U.S. Senate or other statewide offices someday.  Nonetheless, the Citizens Party is always recruiting citizens to run for political office and we would like to see one of our own run against Smith or Basler in 2016.  Maybe, our own Ashley.  Time will tell.

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

Our Newest Blog

There's a new blog of ours called "Council" that started on 2/15/15.  This is the blog that you now want to check to keep up with the goings-on of the "Mark Greene for Federal Way City Council" campaign.  Not that you shouldn't keep checking this blog as well, but Revived Citizens Party will, from this time on, concentrate more on party matters, particularly, as opposed to the Council campaign, which is officially a non-partisan campaign.  The non-partisanship of local campaigns, generally, is decided by Washington law, although we realize, of course, that politicians like to hide their true colors behind official non-partisanship.  However, we're different in that respect, our blogs make it pretty clear that Mark Greene runs a third party and no longer affiliates at all with the major parties.  The "Top 2" primary that arose in Washington, circa 2008, made that possible.

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.]
