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.

This is the first time I have seen this video. Like the comments earlier, I just wasn’t aware of it, but I VOTED MCKINNEY!! I was a supporter of Ron Paul, but unfortunately he wasn’t on the ballot. Knowing that Congresswoman McKinney was running, I definitely gave my vote. She is strong and hold the same political and social views as I. If I knew this video was out, I definitely would have circled it!

Keep fighting Cynthia and we will join you!
the media …
the media determines who the “frontrunners” are, and then blacklists everyone else or paints them in a negative light. When it comes to elections it shouldn’t be about who has the most support from various corporate lobbyists and/or who has the most money in their bank account. It should be about whose stance on the issues is most in alignment with the citizens of the country. Sadly, our government is extremely corrupt and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon.
A former 6 term …
A former 6 term congressperson running for president not get media coverage so potential voters can be informed! Think about why the media didn’t give you this information.
I wonder how many people are actually informed of the political and corporate backgrounds of the appointments Obama is making.
It certainly is …
It certainly is ridiculous that a former 6 term congressperson running for president not get media coverage so potential voters can be informed.
I wonder how many people are actually informed of the political and corporate backgrounds of the appointments Obama is making.
The media and …
The media and ultimately their corporate sponsor which pay them advertising dollars, decide what you will hear.
We were certainly here on YouTube . . . but YouTube would not give the campaign a Politician account, making it harder to find.
Only the most motivated individuals found our message.
It’s not a democracy when access to information is impeded.
Yo…..I feel the …

this is ridiculous… I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW CYNTHIA WAS RUNNING!! I would have definately voted for her
A new record was …
A new record was set for a Green candidate running for the US House, when Deb McFarland finished second in an Arkansas District 2 race with 64,622 votes or 23.33%.
Rebekah Kennedy apparently set a new percentage record for a Green running for the US Senate, with 202,016 votes or 20.59% (results not official) in her Arkansas race.
Along with Richard Carroll’s state legislature victory (see below), Arkansas Greens showed the most dramatic electoral growth of any state Green Party
The total number of …
The total number of votes for Green congressional candidates (483,671 so far)
will rise further after the December 6 postponed election in New Orleans, Louisiana, where Green candidate Malik Rahim is running in District 2 for a seat currently held by William Jefferson, who is under federal indictment.
