Part 4 of 6

History was made less than 2 weeks ago when Senator Barack Obama was officially made the Democratic nominee for President. The networks showed images of over 80,000 hopeful Americans chanting out "Yes we can!" in Denver Colorado while millions of others watched in awe on television in their homes. This nomination was pivotal, it could change the face of the American Presidency forever, but would most black women, and women of all other ethnicities in general still vote for Senator Obama if they knew that there was another female candidate who was running for the United States Presidency? In fact, would they immediately have a change of heart when they found out that this candidate was not only a woman, but African American as well? The reality is that most Americans don't even know that there is another choice out there, they've never heard her name, or seen her face. Black Tree TV had the opportunity to sit and talk with her, and would like to formally introduce our viewers and the world to Americas other African American Presidential Nominee and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia Mc Kinney. She is the Green Party's 2008 nominee for the Presidency.
A veteran to public service, Mc Kinney has served as a Democrat for the U. S. House of Representatives, as well as representing Georgia's 4th Congressional District until 2007. While sitting down with Black Tree's own Jamaal Finkley, Mc Kinney filled viewers in about the Green Party, and how it remains true to its grassroots values. A former Democrat herself, she credits her party switch to being "uneasy with the relationship between the Democratic Party and the black American voter", going on to say that the blacks whom she served in Dekalb County Georgia always voted Democratic, and found that it never worked out in their favor "for those who needed it the most". That African Americans are "investing in the Democratic Party, but not receiving a return on their investment."

The party she currently represents was founded in 2001 and originally sought out to "help existing state parties grow". The Green Party seeks to "renew Democracy without the support of corporate donors". Mc Kinney is a disbeliever in two party systems, saying that the parties "disregards the values of its members and pays more attention to special interests". Her last message to the people is that she's "hungry for justice and doesn't mind being called a radical". If you would like to know more about The Green Party, and Cynthia Mc Kinney, be sure to check out Blacktree TV's exclusive interview with her on Youtube. More information about this candidate can also be found on www. Gp.org.

American is sick because its leaders are sick. Cynthia McKinney it takes courage to speaks the truth and go against the Zions Policy and the atrocity what Israel is doing to the Palestian People. Where are the Congress or the Senate said about the Piracy Israel hijack done against humanitarian aid to the Palestians People? Not even the media both TV and radlo except for KPFK 90.7 Fm; said anything about Israel hijacking the humanitarian boat. They were hijack in international waters. Illegal
