Exploratory Campaign for Special Election -- WA 30th District

Our Nation Needs a Third Party Statement
For a Change

Fresh off of the campaign trail for Congress in the 9th Congressional District, I am considering a campaign for State Representative in the 30th Legislative District of Washington, a special election in 2015.  This would mean foregoing the present campaign for Director of Elections (King County), but I may do just that if I think I have a good chance of winning in the 30th, as the comparatively smaller jurisdiction gives a candidate not funded by corporations (their PACs) or individuals acting on behalf of corporations a better chance of getting their name out and meeting the electorate one-to-one.  For the first time in a long time, I may campaign door to door, something that you can't do so well in a huge county election. 

Alternatively, the Revived Citizens Party may sponsor someone besides myself for the special election, which would mean that I'll definitely keep on course for Director of Elections.  None of these elections are easy because inevitably we are always going up against entrenched, well-funded special interests, Establishment hacks, and the corporate behemoth that keeps their foot on the common man's neck.  Newspapers, whether they are mainstream or call themselves "alternative," are not our friends at all, because virtually all of them are basically funded by corporate interests, and their coverage is usually biased, and their editors almost always endorse candidates that are the antithesis of the common person's interests.  As for our party name on the ballot if I or another member gets in the special election, that will not be decided until spring, given our variety of names, but probably "Citizens Party," just like in the recently past Congressional election.

With the Press, Again

As long-time readers of my blogs know, my relationship with the media has been acrimonious at times, though I realize, of course, that the press is an essential part of politics and democracy in our nation, and of course the relationship between politicians and the press is going to be often disharmonious because they have distinctly different interests.  That doesn't mean that one or both sides cannot be at fault at varying times, and both sides often are. So with all that in mind, my first thought today is, though I am sure that the H-1B system for hiring temporary foreign workers has been widely abused, there is a big distinction between that system and the system for permanent residents being in the job market.  In the interest of my views being as publicly accurate as possible, I'll say this: I more or less support the law that infers that official permanent residents should be treated...
