Cynthia McKinney Press Conference on why she's running as Green for President in New York July 18, 2008.Excellent overview of her motivation to run as Green for President.Key sound bitesAs I see the dissolution of the character and soul of our country, it is clear we the people have the power to take our country back.In 2006 people voted for peace and got war . . . the voters were betrayed.The majority of values expressed by people in this country are Green values.The solutions that make the most sense are the most difficult-Medicare for All-Accountability through impeachment-Kartina/Rita survivor right to returnI declared my independence from the national leadership that made my country complicit in the crimes of the Bush administration.The Green Party is not just an alternative it's an imperative.The values of people in this country should be reflected in our public policy . . . that emanating from Washington DC are something alien to the values of the U.S. people.http://www.runcynthiarun.org/

Jul 25, 2008 - It's so true! I had been waing such a long time to find a canidate like her. I thought I had found it in Ron Paul, but the fact that he cares more about a no-longer-existent presidential bid mpre tjam securing his continued seat in Congress says volumes. Cynthia is it, she really is! She's the first in my very short voting history that I feel I would support no matter who else was running, what party she's in, OR the conditions of that party and the likelihood of winning in the general sense..

Jul 25, 2008 - Thanks. She understands the integrity of keeping true to one's message and goals. She's really looking to build a long term movement to change things . . . to go beyond words and actually organize so people can have some political power.

Aug 7, 2008 - she dresses wrong. she doesnt look like Condie Rice. TOO BLACK!

seecraig Says:

Aug 7, 2008 - Culture and identity are good thing.Condie Rice and Barack Obama both dress "the part." Maybe they have more in common than people are willing to admit.If you can't be honest about your clothes what else are you not honest about?I'm glad Cynthia is honest about what she likes to wear. That's exactly what America should trust.
