Remembering Roger Freeman: 1965 - 2014
Now that the memorial for Roger Freeman, the deceased, widely respected state representative of the 30th District, transpired a week ago, discussions about who will fill the vacant 30th District representative seat will be going forward in full swing. First, there will be an appointment to fill the vacancy, but there also has to be an election in November of 2015. The Revived Citizens Party has come close to recruiting a young, politically active woman to run for the seat next year, but there is no firm decision, yet, as of Nov. 30, 2014. For now, we will keep her name under the radar until she makes an announcement, but her possible advancement into elective politics as a third party candidate would surely be a welcome change from the corporate-shilling, anti-union "Democratic-Republican Party."
For decades, now, the shift of wealth from the lower and middle classes to the oligarch class has been ongoing and anything but subtle, and a walk back to the outright feudalism and servitude economy of pre-New Deal America. America took two giant steps forward for the common man since the turn of the 20th century, but now seems on the verge of taking two giant steps backward if we don't start shaking up the political class through progressive 3rd parties and independents. Keeping the status quo major parties that are intent on being water carriers for the corporations will accomplish nothing except to turn the New Gilded Age into something out of the Middle Ages. Perhaps, one legislative district in Washington state can begin the political revival that America mostly wants and desperately needs.
