Cynthia McKinney Announces Presidential Campaign
Video News Release to follow Dec 16, 6 PM
Cynthia McKinney, a former six-term Congresswoman and an outspoken opponent of the war in Iraq, today officially launched her campaign as a Green Party candidate for President.
In a soon-to-be-released video news release, McKinney says "the Republicans have deceived us; the Democrats have failed us. It is time for a new beginning: A time for hope to rise from the ashes of despair."
McKinney, a former Democrat from Georgia, was one of only three members of Congress to vote "yes" on a House Resolution in 2005 calling for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops
from Iraq. One of her last acts in office was introducing Articles of Impeachment naming George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice.
According to McKinney: "It is time to break the vicious cycle where the poor go to war and veterans come home wounded and ignored."
McKinney supports universal, single-payer health care; fair trade; and has been an unrelenting advocate for Hurricane Katrina survivors. No stranger to controversy and unafraid of speaking truth to power, McKinney has demanded that the Bush Administration tell the American people what the Administration knew about the events leading up to 9/11 and when they knew it.
McKinney's announcement ends months of speculation about her plans. McKinney has been traveling constantly and meeting with Green Party members and other activists across the country who have been encouraging her to seek the Presidency.

But I sincerely hope that Ralphie will come back on board with the Greens as we grow and grow. We need him, and he needs us.
Go Cynthia!!
The Green Party are the real HOPE for global politics & not just Amercian politics!
But I think first America needs a coalition of opposition to the corporate candidates.
Go Cynthia!
Go Cynthia Go!
For right wing people - vote for Bob Barr (libertarian party) or Chuck Baldwin (Constitutional party).
For left wing people - vote for Cynthia McKinney (Green Party), Brian Moore (Socialist Party) or Ralph Nader ["independent party")]
Any other candidates I have missed - my deepest condolences.
PLEASE do NOT vote for Obama or McCain! Do not vote Democrat or Republican. ALL the cadidates I have mentioned, besides Obama or McCain of course, would be a great help in the recovery to the USA right now!
Building a third party creates a vehicle outside of the current major parties so that one is no longer limited by party leadership who may block dissent within a party.
Write ins will count towards the 5% she needs to get funding to make the Green Party competitive nationally. It's a practical goal that may lead to real change.
