Ladies and Gentlemen,
The election ballots to arrive in your mailboxes are right around the corner and the Washington Establishment which has its fingers in the pot of every nook and corner of the state has done everything they could to try to make the Position 6 council election a forgone conclusion for their candidate, John Drescher (R). Everything from getting Rodney Tom (D)/(Turncoat) to return to his "parlor games" to making sure that no debate forum was or will be held in Newcastle. They forgot one thing, though -- your common sense and how it could surprise them.
We are in a new Gilded Age. Nuclear waste contamination from nuclear energy plants -- from Fukushima to wherever else -- threatens to despoil the entire planet, and its cousin, nuclear armaments, dangle over our heads just waiting for an accident or lunatics to set them off. A manufactured crisis in D.C. (by John Boehner & Co.) has shut the government down and the man-made crisis of global warming could shut down wide areas of habitable Earth. Very recently, a poll has shown that more than 3/4 of Americans think that our nation is going in the wrong direction, yet there is not a single third party congressperson in the national/federal government (there are 2 or 3 independents in the 113th Congress, but that's not exactly the same thing).
Although, the fledgling Party of Commons is hardly known in Washington state, let alone outside of it, an election victory in Newcastle would be another of many small 3rd party steps towards shaking up the Democratic/Republican stronghold on governance. Hopefully, enough of these little victories, similar to the domino effect, will eventually transcend into a nationwide 3rd party breakthrough of national prominence and into Congress itself, and thus a breakout from the crusty old Republican/Democratic guard that has kept America in political lockdown, interventionist grind and economic lockout.
Other third parties have made gains on city and town councils, and legislatures, all over America. We can keep the trend going through the power of your vote, as every incremental step paves the way to a new government.
- Mark Greene (Commons), Candidate for Newcastle City Council, Position 6

Please vote for I-522 this November, YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW about whether of not the food you buy is genetically modified. If GM food is the greatest thing since sliced bread (according to them), then why don't they want it labeled?
