Chairman of the Party of Commons, Mark Greene has long been underrated in his long years in politics. In 1976, at age 22, while making his first speech ever before a crowd of hundreds in downtown Detroit, the response was blase; although, they were probably not aware that this was Mark's first speech. Mark was running for the Michigan House of Representatives that year.
In the mid-1980's, after Mark had run for the Minneapolis City Council, city council authorities were rudely trying to dissuade Mark from asserting his right to use City Hall facilities that were ordinarily available to the general public. In 1986, when Mark was running for Congress in Minnesota, the debate monitor wouldn't give Mark the same time alloted to the other candidates, probably because Mark was not running as a candidate of the major parties.
In 2000 - 2002, the Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, never printed Mark's photograph in their paper or gave him the respect of a substantial article about his candidacy despite that he was the Democratic Party's nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives (AK - at large) in 2000 and 2002. While actively involved in Washington state politics since 2004, Mark has been generally disregarded and ignored by the corporate mainstream news media and their journalistic sycophants, yet has grown a political following that is close to knocking down the doors of systematic electoral privilege for only those that represent the interests of corporatists and the rich. Despite roadblocks by our detractors, the Party of Commons is persevering as we are the party of the commoners, though respecting the rights of every citizen of the nation, and the natural human rights of every citizen of the world, and we stand by our chairman through thick and thin. A special thanks to our supporters and signers of Mark's petitions.
Note: Even though Mark was speaking in downtown Detroit in 1976, the downtown area was not part of Mark's district (Mark's district was in central west Detroit, including some great Polish neighborhoods that gave Mark some precinct victories). Mark used his first name, Clifford, in all campaigns mentioned above except those in Washington state.
