F.W. LIBERALISM

As an economic-liberalist, the electoral coalition that may elect me to Council, can transcend the power of the people into effective governmental policies by the City of Federal Way.  Policies such as a campaign finance ordinance that would help F.W. commoners with the financial wherewithal to run competitive, or at least credible, campaigns for Council/F.W. offices-in-general.  Homestead credits for homeowners and tax rebates/refunds for renters, a la Minnesota state; rooming provisions for persons without homes, educational mobility and job stabilization centers, and disabled and elderly care informational/help centers, to name a few.  Help Federal Way do our part in leading America out of post-20th century stagnation to 21st century robustness.

-- Mark Greene, candidate for Federal Way City Council (Position 1)

Third Party Dilemma

Tweedle-dum or tweedle-dee, or pure idealism, or just plain idealism?  It never ceases to amaze us how America, of all nations, is so reluctant to do something as minimal as peacefully and civilly announcing a "pox on both their houses" when it comes to the pretty much corrupt major political parties, here, and merely vote for virtually anything that says I'm not a part of them, meaning whatever available third parties and independents there are.  Yet, third parties do dreadfully poorly as voters willfully play musical chairs between the Democrats and the Republicans, and therein goes the puzzle inside the dilemma.  Do third parties persist in spite of the practically mind-boggling poor election numbers or should they just take on an "if you can't beat them, join them" posture even though the latter is something akin to self-flagellation?  Actually, most of the minor  parties are themselves to blame by taking on a de...

America-Centric Progressive-Conservative

The title of this blog is changing to  "America-Centric Progressive-Conservative," which believes in a fair economic system for all citizens, keeping our valued American traditions, ensuring that citizens have first priority for all jobs over all others in their own country, and understanding that the Statue of Liberty  does not  mean globalization, as internationalism has gone overboard, the nation-state system should always be kept in place.  Lady Liberty basically means liberty and justice for all.

The Environment & Federal Way

If elected to Council, I will propose an Environmental Mapping Project,  maybe with a different name but the same effect, as this will put increased focus on Federal Way's environmental standards, including the quality of water, sewer and storm drainage infrastructure, littering and graffiti problems, contingency plans for natural disasters, and so forth.  The list, of course, could be in the scores, but you get the idea. My plan will include putting this new agency under an existing commission, or perhaps making it a separate commission unto itself, and dividing Federal Way into 20-or-so equal geographical areas, not divided evenly by population, but by square mileage or some other spatial measure.  Each of these twenty areas will then have an environmental steward of its very own, which would essentially be a volunteer position, although regular stipends would be paid by the City.  Stewards would be responsible for researching information pertine...
