According to a reliable source, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) will officially announce her candidacy for U.S. president as early as next week. According to the source, the Green Party has been actively courting McKinney to switch party affiliation and run as a Green. (*)
McKinney has been outspoken about the Iraq war, AIPAC's lobbying influence over U.S. foreign policy, the 9/11 Commission Report, and the partisan decision by a partial body of the Supreme Court to elect George W. Bush to the presidency in 2000.
She is also trumpeting the call of millions of Americans calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for perpetrating war crimes against humanity.
McKinney is in San Francisco this weekend. Her schedule includes an appearance at a CodePink party tonight at El Rio, and an appearance tomorrow at a campaign rally to elect mayoral candidate Ahimsa Sumchai.
(*) Update 3:10 p.m: According to a source, McKinney officially registered as a member of the Green Party yesterday.

With both cut and run and her running I think buying stock in the tin foil business would be better.

Not good news. We need someone with a higher national profile to run for the Greens so they can siphon votes from Hillary.

Of course, when I think of her I think of Green politics. /s

We need to do all we can to encourage her. We can send e-mails and even contributions.

This would be a heck of a ticket if she could get Heineken burglar from New Orleans to be her VP. She can handle both offices all by her lonesome!
This is hysterical!!! Run Cinny Run!
