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.

-- Mark Greene, Chairman of the Revived Citizens Party

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...
