The Green Party Has Chosen a Presidential

Nominee!

Cynthia McKinney won the national (internal) Green Party election for our Presidential nominee.

Cynthia has been an outspoken critic of every corrupt aspect of the Bush administration: the war on Iraq, the secrecy around 9-11, our misallocated budget, the secrecy around several national assasinations (MLK for one), and the failure of the Democrats to live up to their 2006 commitments. She authored a bill to impeach the President as her last act of office in 2006, when she lost her district due to its re-allocation. "Cynthia McKinney, who, with amazing consistency, always placed principle above her own personal and electoral fortunes, is at this juncture in history the only vehicle through which progressives can both register their outrage at Obama and begin the process of rebuilding a mass, Black-led movement for real social change . . ."
