Cynthia McKinney - on building the Green Party, Ralph Nader and the Debates

On the day of the October 30th 3rd Party Debate in Cleveland Ohio, Cynthia McKinney could not attend because she was in Hunstville Texas supporting a family about to have a loved one executed. She offered to participate remotely but did not receive consent from Ralph Nader. This is why the hastily scheduled debates resulted in scheduling conflicts each time. Cynthia made commitments and she kept those commitments.

View the Video Response to what Cynthia was doing on the day of the Cleveland Ohio Debate.

She was in Huntsville Texas providing support to a family while their loved one was being executed. It's a heart wrenching video.

Cynthia's scheduled commitments often involve appearances that don't get much press coverage and she keeps those commitments even if it means not being present at a "big event."

Keep protesting the death penalty, Cynthia.

Ralph Nader in his Heart knows that you and Rosa have brought some teeth of the Green Party, and I will only commit to some serious networking for the GREENS for the next 4 to 8 years only as long as Cynthia and Rosa hold tight as the lead.

Nader doesn't like parties...he's a party pooper.

But, seriously, I don't think in-fighting is a great idea.

Besides green is about a hundred years away from winning a Presidential election in this country. We need a UNITED THIRD PARTY , we could call it the united third party in fact. It could happen. (Nader would probably still run against it but nevermind that). Libertarians, socialists, constitutionalists, greens, etc. united against a corporate fascist government. think about it

cynthia and all who are with her campaign. I am with you. I hear you loud and clear. I think Nader has some ideas for building some work post election, but it may not involve a party and to be honest as long as we keep trying to reinvent to wheel, and let our ego dictate our commitment to an effort we will be in the same place. I am with you in building this green party movement. speak your mind and speak the truth. PEACE

Thank you for calling a duck a duck when it walks and quacks like one. Please excuse the political cliche, but I think it's better that we're now clear where we as a party and a campaign stand. I think it would've been smarter to've made such a statement weeks earlier, rather than so close to the election. But hopefully crossing this watershed will help us do what we need to in order to get back to the level of support/organization we had in 2000 and exceed it in the near future. McKinney 08!
