I fell in love with Cynthia's courage in the movie American Blackout, she stood up for me and my message when no one had the courage to see the truth. But I have also learned about the courage and hard work of Ralph Nader, making this a tough choice for me, they are both great candidates who stand for and defend the people and not the corporations. I only wish more knew about these candidates. All I saw recently on TV was a one line disrespectful comment and then a quick cut to commercial.
I knew I couldn't vote for Barack when he wasn't against nuclear energy, but then he inspired me with his speeches and I thought well maybe he's all I've got, and then he didn't show up to vote against the FISA Bill and I thought he's not who I thought he was. And just to put the nail on the coffin he has considered California drilling for oil, and I said no way is he my candidate.
Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente are building a political institution and resources (the Green Party) that will be able to challenge and change the system for years to come.
Nader has good politics but builds no enduring institution.
this is the same woman who didn't have her badge and walked into congress. Got stopped by a police guard and called sexual harassment, racial profiling, etc. etc.
No, this is the woman who was set up by the Democratic Leadership to create an incident they could use against her because she regularly challenged the Democratic Party Leadership.
The Democratic Party Leadership funding the war, supporting FISA, kept impeachment off the table amongst many other things.
Corporate funded media is certainly biased. The "badge" was a pin available in local gift shops. The guards are TRAINED to ID the congress people. One with 6 terms should be especially easy to ID.
Parroting the media with it's bias can pass for anything resembling research and fact finding. The common practices of the guards show this. You can see how the guards treated her ON CAMERA in American Blackout.
No conspiracy. This kind of stuff is not uncommon among Party Leaders. They attempt to keep party discipline and try to expunge those who don't follow. I saw this kind of stuff when I was a Democrat involved in local politics. It happens in the Republican Party too. Keep in mind there are many reasonable Democrats and Republicans. It's the leadership that often inhibits reasonable discourse.
Example, there are both Republican and Democrats against the war but they aren't allowed to act on it.
Wow. This woman is totally misrepresented in the mainstream media. Great speech. Great video.

Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Ron Paul and Denis Kucinich are not members of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Read up on the CFR, find out who are members, board members etc. You'll be amazed.
You don't become an anchor person on national TV, or an editor in a major paper, or POTUS or VPOTUS if you're NOT a CFR member.
Anyone running for POTUS who is NOT a CFR member, gets ridiculed.
The CFR is more powerfull than most people realise.

That's the big and important difference.

Very insightful, and I agree.
Too many people are turning up two-faced, and too many are not speaking what is truthful.
I like your authenticity.

It's about building a movement. Barack, you're not bad, but Cynthia, you've got my vote.
