Cynthia Mckinney runs for President under Green Party-1/3

First All-Women-of-Color Presidential Ticket in US History: Green Party Nominee Cynthia McKinney and Running Mate Rosa Clemente on War, Democracy and Hip Hop

The Green Party made history last week when it nominated the first all-women-of-color presidential ticket in US history. Former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who was the first African American woman elected to Congress in Georgia, won the Green Party's nomination last Monday. She named longtime community organizer, journalist and former director of the Hip Hop Caucus, Rosa Clemente, as her running mate earlier this month. They both join us for a wide-ranging discussion on the 2008 race, the media, the impact of the hip hop generation and more.

I really respect Cynthia she would make a great President she is everything that Obama's not. She is honest and is for the people, anti-war/occupation, for the environment. I do have one question about the prison system how do they want to modify it?

[iTellYouNoLie]

you Obama and hillary fans better research this woman NOW!!!

She's got obama FUCKED UP!!

and she actually votes like she talks, the democrats are killing people just as much as republicans and they both profit off UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNPROVOKED PRE-EMPTIVE WAR!!

I think the 2012 election will be the rise of the third party. I believe that McKinney is a wise politician and I think that the Green Party has a lot of great advantages besides environmental issues. The third party system should rise and balance this nation to the PEOPLE!!!

and Afganistan and probably to bring home our troops in other countries. It is not the job of the US to have troops in other countries. We need to focus on our country our soldiers can come home and help clean up the US with new housing, streets, help our poor feed them,medical care, clothing, and even education on water purification and many other things, actual do humanitarian work.
