McKinney/Clemente in 2008

Think that no presidential candidate cares about trillions of dollars missing each year?   Think no presidential candidate is asking real questions about 9/11?  Think again.  Think Cynthia McKinney.


This is the 1st all-women-of-color presidential ticket in US history! 

I am still amazed that hardly anyone knows about Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente. You would think that it might get a mention on the news. Somehow ABC, NBC, CBS and (fair and balanced) Fox News seemed to have missed it. 

Do you want to vote for someone who has not supported the dissolution of the Bill of Rights as Barack Obama and John McCain have? Cynthia is an option. She is running on the Green Party ticket. Rather than choosing between the lesser of two evils, how about not voting for evil at all?

Voting for Female Presidential Candidate

I have finally made my decision who to vote for in the unfolding Orwellian play.  I have decided not to vote for either of the false dichotomies.   For all of the obvious reasons, I cannot support Senator McCain or his scary sidekick.  I can no longer give any credence to Barack Obama as a candidate as he supported FISA and the elimination of the 4th Amendment (It had McCain's support too).   I can support no candidate for president who so plainly illustrates a desire to dismantle the constitution, rather than to "uphold and defend it".

Some of you may have heard about Bob Barr running on the Libertarian ticket; another scary character.  He is a libertarian authoritarian, ex-CIA and a major player in the war on drugs.  He advocates complete federal prohibition of medical marijuana.  He even authored the "Barr" amendment which prohibits future laws that would "decrease the penalties for marijuana".

Who is there left, you ask?  A female candidate for President of the United States.  Yes, there is a woman who is actually on the ballot and she is black!  What's more?  She has a black female Vice Presidential running mate.  In the last 3 months, there are only 4 people I have spoken with who even know she is running.  Yes, I am voting for Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente.


I can understand that she may not be the mainstream's most viable candidate, but one would expect just a bit more hoopla in the news about a female presidential candidate, especially a black one.

I won't tell anyone to vote any particular way.  All I ask is: 

Don't vote for the lesser evil.  Don't vote for evil at all.  Vote your conscience.
