Our latest essay or post (not counting this one) is “The United States’ Identity Crisis”. It took a long time to arrive after the previous one, “Deborah and Jael”. It was about a month-and-a-half. Too long, we surmise, to keep subscribers to our blog and potential new ones interested. Being that the American Sun-Light News & Literature blog is an enterprise of the Party of Commons, a.k.a., the Revived Citizens Party, we have a lot of projects on our hands. We are trying to enact Federal Way Citizens Initiative 24-003. This initiative aims at reshaping the City Council into a hybrid district and at-large system. It is pretty much dead in the water, barring a miracle, to be honest. The interest in it has been fledgling, at best. Who wants to take the time to get 20 signatures on a petition? It’s a rhetorical question. We actually need 8000 signatures at a bare minimum. We foolishly thought we get 400 people to get 20 signatures apiece. Good luck with that! Our marketing of the initiative hasn’t been the best. We admit this failure. Partly, we are too proud to seek the assistance of the local, so-called newspaper. Not to mention that money helps; another thing where the phrase, ‘bare minimum’, comes in handy. Actually, we would love to have the bare minimum for this initiative.
Other projects: making videos and/or writing posts for YouTube, Rumble, and Patreon. This is another once-a-week goal. We are posting on “X”, where we have been spending way too much time lately. We are also assisting with the Mark Greene for Mayor of Federal Way Campaign. So, not a lot of time for writing essays on this blog. Nevertheless, we’re trying to make time from this point onward, so we’re shooting for at least a post-a-week (ad-hoc…no routine, specific day of the week). With this post, we have completed two this week. This shows progress. We’re trying not to cheat and count this one for the new week that starts tomorrow, which is Easter. No promises, though. “Promises”…that’s yet one more thing where ‘bare minimum’ comes to mind, just because it’s wise.
