Greetings of IMANI (FAITH) President McKinney:
May our Divine Creator and Beloved Ancestors find you and the extended family in the best of spirit and health. Welcome back to the land of the original OHLONE people, to what is currently called the “california bay area.” It is so disappointing not to be able to greet you personally this weekend—when WE are commemorating the birthdays of freedom fighters EL HAJJ MALIK EL SHABAZZ (Brother Minister Malcolm X), Mother Yuri Kochiyama and HO CHI MINH—due to a previously-scheduled family commitment. However, it was a pleasure to speak to you briefly after the Green Party presidential candidates’ debate here in January; and, at our march and rally commemorating International Workers’ Day on the First of May.
Like thousands of other activists around the “united capitalist prison states of america (u.c.p.s.a.)” and our world, i want to applaud you for your decades of advocacy and action for truth, justice, reparations, human rights, democracy and peace. As a union organizer in chicago, new york city and the bay area, WE always knew that you, as a member of congress, had our backs on issues from living wages to struggling against the oppressive “welfare reform” and “free trade” agreements. While a leader in our movements for self-determination and reparations, you consistently worked with us to build a powerful united front of Afrikan people (and supporters) here in the u.c.p.s.a. and around our Diaspora to begin challenging the imperialist governments and corporations which accumulate(d) their unjust riches by super-exploiting the labor and land of enslaved and imprisoned workers. WE are all so proud that you stood tall and proud, even though mostly alone in the congress, in demanding the release of and amnesty for our hundreds of imprisoned and exiled Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, Republic of New Afrika, Black Liberation Army, American Indian Movement and Puerto Rican independence political leaders, and called for hearings on the repressive “counter intelligence (sic) programs” past and present. Having lost 155 members of the community/labor alliance that i led in new york, and another 12 members of our N’COBRA, it was you who rightfully and righteously called for a full examination of the role of the fascist regime of Cheney/Bush in the events leading up to, during and following 11 September 6241/2001. And, justice-loving people around the world were extremely encouraged that you introduced impeachment proceedings to expose the continuing crimes against humanity perpetrated by Cheney/Bush and corrupt republican and democratic party officials.
All that said, you have always inspired us. That is why WE have traveled down to georgia to work for your re-elections in past years; and are supporting your current candidacy. Your platform offers all of our movements—for reparations, freedom for political prisoners, workers’ rights, peace, true democracy, justice for the victims of the Cheney/Bush “hurricanes” and floods, immigrant rights, etc.—real hope and an alternative to the corporate republican and democratic parties. And, as i have been expressing to my family, friends, co-workers, extended networks and in my articles, WE do indeed have an opportunity to work for the election of both a person of integrity who is also of Afrikan ancestry and a woman. No, not Senator Barack Obama, a former community organizing colleague and friend; or another former chicagoan, Senator Hillary Clinton. They are both slugging it out to show who can best represent the interests of the minority corporate invaders, occupiers, torturers and war profiteers. Their calls for “change” offer no concrete solutions for the majority of the people suffering in our communities and around the planet. The campaign of Sister President Cynthia McKinney, however, is a major step towards independent spiritual, political and economic visioning, unity and action. Until WE meet again, i wish you and all those assembled today…
Justice, Peace, Love, Prosperity and Continued Blessings!

Sister President Sin-thia McKrazy
Damn Rove and his weather machine!
Catchy title.
I wish the mother ship would beam her and her followers up.
This is the same McKinney that screamed racism while having an entirely black staff, right? The one that hit a security guard because he dared ask to see her ID?
Will O-gaffe accept, or reject?
The source says this was posted on her web site. Heh. I guess she knows what will appeal to the people who vote for her.
They’re serious (even though they’re full of hooey). There’s some group of black separatists who believe that blacks discovered the New World and settled even before the Indians. They also believe that they are the true successors to the “Twelve Tribes” of the Old Testament, and that the Jews are usurpers and pretenders. They purport to believe that they are the true American natives, and they give themselves grandiosely ridiculous names and titles (and unlike some civic clubs, they do it in all seriousness). They also claim to be part of the “African Diaspora”. I believe that they also consider themselves a religion. I don’t remember what they call themselves, but I’ve read the views of some of their members on certain message boards. They’re hilarious, and they’re really “out there”, I mean like Heaven’s Gate cult “out there” (though I don’t think they’re in the least suicidal. Au contraire, they’d like to kill everyone else in the name of “taking back” their “ancestral lands” in the New World).
What does this say about the voters in her state that keep putting her into office. Pathetic at the least.
I wonder if the author has figured out how to make that rhythmic, melodic, sound that results from a continuous vocalization of a mid-range monotone while stroking the lower lip with the forefinger.
Don’t forget “Men on Mars Jaxson-Lee”—or Maximun Muddy WATERS of —He did a 360 on that subject Fame....LOL....
This country is inhabited by some of the dumbest most despicable a$$holes on the planet.
A disproportionate number of them are Leftist, Islamists, Black Racists, “professors” or all of the above...
I've been known to be quite rude to supporters of this guy.
Yes, how DOES she keep getting re-elected - I’d think she’d be too embarrassed to re-run, her voters too embarrassed to vote for her.
I think she is out now, but there are some really crappy districts and hers was one.
Stop the nationwide search, Barack: you have found your Vice President.
she (it?) and her idiot supporters are to damn stupid to be embarressed.
