Cynthia McKinney Endorsement (Screamingly, unintentionally funny!)

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!

By looking at the congressional i.d card one would assume she’s a normal thinking American patriot, not some wrong headed lunatic. The DNC really should investigate their candidates better.

[mrsmel]

They’re so crazy, that I couldn’t say for sure-but I’d guess that it’s because if they really want to gain any real political traction in this country, they’d have to attach themselves to one of the major parties or the other, and blacks in general are in lockstep with the ‘rats. They certainly wouldn’t feel too “at home” within the GOP, because with all our faults, we don’t play to identity politics, which is the stock-in-trade of the ‘rats. And many more reasons.

All that said, you have always inspired us. That is why WE have traveled down to georgia...

With all Of this "WE" and "US" stuFf, I think she's already speaKing froM tHe Royal Perspective.

(Her writing skills challenge those of Rosie O'Donnel!)

[mrsmel]

They embrace lunacy like hers. They embrace anything that undermines America, puts America in the wrong. They simply try to spin that people like her aren't crazy, that they're right, and that mean ole conservatives, whites, whatever, are "demeaning" her. After all, it's always "our" fault with them, isn't it? "Personal responsibility" are dirty words to them, not common sense.

Looking at her congressional ID compared to that next hairstyle, I’d say she de-funded her stylist and added a line item for her speed dealer. Looks tweaky-deeky bugged out; like she’d snap in an instant (and of course she did!).

I was thinking more along THESE lines . . .

Half-black Obambi is far too conservative for these people.

When is someone going to ask Obama how he feels about reparations. The MSM seems to be afraid to ask.

Well, if they don’t like our “united capitalist prison states”, I enthusiastically recommend relocating to Cuba or North Korea. Both societies are remarkably free of racism, and union organizing is a snap!*/s

I believe she lost her last bid for re election.
