Description

Washington state's number one alternative party: progress, tradition, ecology. Reform-minded, advocating a lower voting age & non-interventionist foreign policy.

Support Mark Greene for King Co. Director of Elections for competent and honest election administration (general: 11/8/11). Mark seeks to reform King Co. elections through hand recounts in randomly selected precincts to verify the optical scanning machine count, buying voting equipment from reputable American companies only, and making it easier for candidates of all stripes to run for election.

Our proposal on proportional representation is based solely on voting numbers and nothing else. We would like to see that any candidate for the state legislature who does not win an election, but gets at least 5% of the vote in a primary or general election would be able to sit in an advisory council, in which the chairman & the deputy chairman of the council would get full seats in the legislature (the chairman in the state senate and the deputy chairman in the state house of representatives). This would of course require a constitutional amendment in all the various state constitutions. We also propose a similar advisory council on the federal level, with the chairpersons taking their seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, and the requisite amendment to the federal constitution. Local councils could set up their advisory councils based on a similar format as well.

To join Mark Greene's fan club, relating to artistic interests, among others, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mark_playwright (limited membership).
