The 'Other' Presidential Candidate (Part 2 of 6)

BlackTree TV, Executive Producer Jamaal Finkley, sits down with Green Party Candidate for President, Ms. Cynthia McKinney, to talk about her run for the Nation's top office and being the underdog.


Let me introduce to you my family and your Power to the People Committee! My mother and father, Billy and Leola McKinney. My son, Coy, who just graduated from college in Canada! I want you to know that there is no way I could do this without their love and support.

Your Power to the People Committee members who are with us today: You’ve all shared e-mails with her and heard her lovely voice on the telephone: Lucy Grider-Bradley, the campaign manager of my 2004 comeback campaign and FEC Compliance team leader for the Power to the People Committee!

I’ve known him all of my political life. You’ve known him for years if you’re a Green party member. Hugh Esco, website man with the Power to the People Committee!

In two long road trips from Georgia to Maine, one trip through California, Oregon, and Washington, and by way of numerous e-mails, you all have come to know my friend, personal assistant, proud Haitian-American activist, et aussi, l’homme avec qui je pratique mon français, David Josué, standing firm against the occupation of Haiti.

John Judge is my friend. He shared U.S. government COINTELPRO documents with me that few except researchers have ever seen. John Judge is an expert on the murders of Malcolm X, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bobby Kennedy, COINTELPRO, other government covert operations directed at certain U.S. citizens, and what really happened on 9/11. Maybe John can tell me how our military and intelligence infrastructures failed four times in one day after the taxpayers invested trillions of dollars in them.

Janet Young, proud accountant for the Power to the People Committee! Learned the true meaning of politics when she saw what happened to me after I put impeachment on the table.

I am also joined on the platform by members of the Reconstruction Movement who have come into

the Green Party to support our Power to the People campaign! The Reconstruction Movement came into being as a result of dissatisfaction around government failures and unmet needs of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita survivors and the many communities across our country in need of reconstruction.

The RunCynthiaRun visionaries from California who are responsible for bringing me to the Party’s Presidential process!

All of the Green Party candidates who are running for election in 2008!

And Rosa Clemente, your Vice Presidential nominee!

Thank you all for being here and standing with me today.

But we make history today only because we must. In 2008, after two stolen Presidential elections and eight years of George W. Bush, and at least two years of Democratic Party complicity, the racket is about war crimes, torture, crimes against the peace; the racket is about crimes against the Constitution, crimes against the American people, and crimes against the global community. The racket is even about values that we thought were long settled as reasonable to pursue, like liberty and justice, and economic opportunity, for all. Yes, Sojourner, there is a lot out of kilter now, but these two women, Rosa and me, joined by all the men and women in this room, are going to do our best to turn this country right side up again.

Cynthia McKinney speaks radical common sense... and she's sharp enough politically to see how the people can take back the political process. McKinney/Clemente '08!

The democrats and the republican party is the same party who is control by Israel. We need a party fight for the truth. Cynthia McKinney is a person of truth and a humanitarian. We need to get rid of the war monguls. We must understand war is profit for the selected few. Now that VP Biden gave Israel the green light to attack Iran and we will back Israel if this war comes about. Health care is a must for American people. Single health is for the people any other health is for the Phar. and Ins.

I may not agree with her 100%, but she does bring a lot a truth. I really respect her as a strong intelligent human. She and all 3rd party members kick ass.
