Mark Manley for U.S. Congress in OK-1, against Sullivan
Mark Manley for Congress
Experiment in a Free Democracy
Mark Manley, Democrat from Tulsa, has filed for the office
of US Congress, District 1. Mark believes Oklahomans should have a better
choice this fall and vows to run his campaign with little or no money.
“I will not be bought and paid for by any corporation or special
interest,” commented Mark. "Government needs to support the
people and Constitution first." Mark has been a principled Tulsa
Impeachment Activist for the last couple of years and believes our country is
in a real state of crisis. His platform will include ending the
occupation of Iraq, holding government accountable, investing in alternative
energy and will support an aggressive policy on global warming.
Mark’s past experience in Tulsa has been many years in
manufacturing and more recently, patient care at St. Francis hospital.
He, as well as many of his supporters, believes that it’s time for real
representative government, representing real people on the important issues of
the day. The Manley campaign will focus on presenting a new documentary
“Considering Democracy” for discussion in various town hall type
meetings. Mark looks forward to engaging regular folks in the most
important election of our time.
"Mark's principles recognize not only the right of
the people to demand representation from our government but also accepts the
responsibility of the people to step up to the plate when we're not being
represented by our Government" said Joni LeViness, Peace House~Tulsa
Volunteer and veteran anti-war activist and civil disobedience resource in
Tulsa. "Mark Manley embodies the spirit and the energy of Woody
Guthrie, Will Rogers and Dennis Kucinich! It's a testament to the spirit
of democracy that still exists in the hearts of Oklahomans that he's willing to
step up to the plate!”
After all, our government should be for the people, by the
people, NOT for the wealthy, by the rich and powerful.

A letter to the editor of the Tulsa World endorsing Manley's candidacy:

"Deserving vote"
7/18/2008
The 2006 elections brought new Democratic faces to Congress, but not enough Democratic spine to put the U.S. Constitution on the table. It is time for Oklahoma to contribute some backbone.
In 2008, Oklahoma's 1st District can and should get rid of our sorry Republican representative and elect a Democratic congressman who will demand accountability to the Constitution and to the interests of the people. We have had enough resolutions, laws and regulations that encourage greed, subsidize dirty energy, allow warrantless spying on Americans, and fund continuation of a war we don't want. The latest war funding vote for another $165 billion was an appalling move to hock the future of our children.
In the Democratic primary of July 29 we will be able to vote for grassroots candidate Mark Manley whose priorities are to address the real needs of common people. For example, Manley will approach the health-care issue — an issue particularly critical in Oklahoma — from a citizen's perspective, rejecting Washington's swarming, self-serving lobbyists who subvert good legislation.
Manley's candidacy represents an admirable commitment to civic duty, and he deserves our vote.
B.A. Geary, Tulsa
