OAKLAND - Six-term U.S. Congresswoman from Georgia Cynthia McKinney--who
may enter the 2008 California Presidential Primary on the Green Party
ticket--will speak at a series of events throughout the Bay Area this
week, according to "California Greens to Draft Cynthia McKinney in 2008."
McKinney has not yet made a commitment to run as a Green, or independent,
but supporters say she is expected to make her final decision public this
week.
McKinney will deliver a talk, "Confronting Empire," which covers the
arrogance of the Bush regime, spinelessness of the Democratic Congress,
plight of the under-represented and abused, corporate takeover of our
military and our government and what Americans can do about it.
Thursday, Oct 4 in Oakland (6:30-9 p.m., Oakland Branch Library, 1801
Adeline)
Friday in Berkeley, where "American Blackout" will
be screened (6 p.m., Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, 1924 Cedar),
and several San Francisco spots Friday and Saturday.
McKinney will also appear at "Impeach at the Beach #4" at Berkeley Marina
on Sunday, 11 a.m., with Cindy Sheehan and many others. Come out and be part of the
HUMAN SPELLOUT for IMPEACHMENT!!
It will be photographed by helicoptors, press, etc.
In the Georgia state primary in 2006, McKinney lost her Congressional seat
to an opponent sponsored by a Democratic Party leadership outraged by her
questioning of its policies. McKinney's last official act in the House of
Representatives was to file Articles of Impeachment against George Bush,
Dick Cheney, and Condoleeza Rice.
The recent documentary, "American Blackout", describes the 2004 election
abuses conducted by the government, and shows McKinney confronting Donald
Rumsfeld at an Armed Services Committee hearing.
Since the end of her last term in Congress, McKinney has been active in a
wide variety of progressive causes and actions. She has spoken out
forcefully about the stolen elections of 2000 and 2004, the Bush
Administration cover-up of the facts of 9/11, the trillions of dollars
missing at the Pentagon, the war in Iraq, U.S. pollution and forest
clear-cutting, and human rights abuses by the U.S. at home and abroad.

Wow. That's interesting. That wouldn't, of course, come on Los Angeles news, overshadowed with Britney Spears's kids. Sigh.
Well, anyways, i hope it's a shot.
