American Blackout critically examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence voices of political dissent.

Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under- reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Mckinney not only took an active role investigating these election debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Featuring: Congressional members John Conyers, John Lewis, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Bernie Sanders and jounalists Greg Palast and Bob Fitrakis.

  • LOL...!!!!!...LMBO..!!!!

  • @1:37 a bunch of smug elitist scumBag assholes. When america has rotted into a 3rd world police state nation, so corrupt to its core that the country no longer has any resemblance to what it once was or stood for, people are going to look back on Cynthia McKinney and see her as the hero she is and was. “In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.” ~Mark Twain

  • I admit Cynthia's nuts are bigger then mine...

  • That's what the White States of America does...they try to affect a black person's way of fending for, and taking care of their family. Just like they did Muhammad Ali when he decided not to enlist to go fight in Vietnam.

  • @unelmitchell Assuming you mean Dr. Ron Paul; how is he a racist????? Are you gonna use the same tired excuse of him being libertarian, and therefore against the civil rights act????? Just because you respect one's right to allow or disallow entry to persons into one's own private establishment does not make you a racist or bigot; it demonstrates that you care about property rights...

  • @jfcemporium

    She didn't use the word "racist" you did. Basically he ran out to her because he thought she was 'just another black person' and then, realized she was Cynthia Mckinney, and apologized. Also, his 'rush-to-action' was rather unecessary considering she wasn't trying to cross any barricade or jump any fence. She was merely passing by and had a cameraman with her. He also didn't have much to say on why he did that, or what rule, law she was violating that made him get his 'gaurd up'

  • @jfcemporium hella long time ago-but i agree 1000% BlAsT fRoM tHe PaSt.

  • !WTF! 0:30 that poor guy is just doing his job for pete's sake!-sorry he hasn't memorized the face of every single person who works at capitol hill! the guy even apologized profusely but she still gives him hella attitude AND she plays the brings out the race card-so basically whenever anyone would dare to stop her for whatever reason they're 'racist'?--thumbs up for thumbing down this video-- well i guess the guy's should count his lucky stars he didn't get thrashed by her. jaja.
