Cynthia McKinney Announces Run for President
McKinney for Presidentwww.runcynthiarun.orgNEWS RELEASEFor immediate release: December 15, 2007Contact: media-requests@runcynthiarun.orgCynthia McKinney Announces Presidential CampaignVideo News Release to follow Dec 16, 6 PMCynthia 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. troopsfrom 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.More information about McKinney's campaign can be found at www.runcynthiarun.org.-- 30 --Cynthia McKinney for President web page http://www2.runcynthiarun.org/...

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 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.

Well, this sucks, I only heard about her AFTER the election :(

There was absolutely NO REASON for her to remain a Dem. That party has NOTHING in common with Cynthia's politics which includes integrity not supported by the corporations.She is building her new political party. The Green Party. Look at the electoral wins and it's just a small part of some 240 elected Greens in the USA.Thank you Cynthia for committing to building the grassroots.

The posts immediately below this are the many Greens who WON Elections on Nov 4.There may be more victories coming in. This is what BUILDING a Party is about. This is what the McKinney/Clemente campaign is about.
