[Sosfbay-discuss] FW: Re: McKinney on possible Green run

Tue Jun 26 14:34:43 PDT 2007

I'm totally with you sister.  I wish *anyone* would
show that capacity.  The Congressional Black Caucus
has  really been the only elected voice for
progressive issues in the last few years.  No one else
seems to have the courage to join them.

The latest on McKinney (in the past day or so) is
still some mixed reports that on the one hand some
Greens who have spoken to her say she's got to take
care of some unspecified issues before she can make an
announcement but say she's intending to and on the
other hand the Media Committee just got another report
that said  "According to a message from nothing has
been decided and it is totally inappropriate to make
such an
announcement about my schedule when I don't even
know what my schedule is yet." "  So I'm not happy
about what I see as an extended tease.

Green is Growth!
