<HTML><BODY>Dear Friends, <br>
<br>
There has been speculation about former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney running for national office as Green Party Candidate in 2008. Ms. McKinney had a distinguished, but <span class="correction" id="">controversial</span>, career as a state legislator and U.S. <span class="correction" id="">congressperson</span> from Georgia (is there any other way to be a distinguished progressive in this conservative-dominated Empire?) <br>
<br>
F.Y.I. <br>
<br>
On March 2, 2007, Ms. McKinney spoke at a fundraiser for <span class="correction" id="">Pacifica</span> Radio Station <span class="correction" id="">KPFK</span> in <span class="correction" id="">Los</span> Angeles. <br>
Yesterday, her remarks were posted on the web site Black Agenda Report: <span class="correction" id="">www</span>.<span class="correction" id="">blackagendareport</span>.com. <br>
As the U.S. Congress debates spending tens of billions of more dollars on Mr. <span class="correction" id="">Bush's</span> war and on the eve of demonstrations by those of us certain prominent powerful Democrats have called "idiot liberals" and "wild-eyed liberals," I have reposted the complete text. <br>

<div class="MsoPlainText">I'm hoping there are some folks here tonight who have
never been to an event like this before. I'm hoping that people are so moved by
their own intolerable circumstances that they are now willing to do something
different in order to get something they've never had before.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">For, in order to solve the massive problems this country
now has, it can no longer be business as usual for a critical mass of us.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">Whether it's the thawing tundra in Siberia or the melting
glaciers in Greenland, our contribution to global warming is something that
must be dealt with. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">Whether it's the massive amounts of money we spend on the
war machine or the fact that we still don't know what happened on September
11th, the values and priorities of the American people must be reflected in the
public policy we pursue. I do not believe that is the case today and there are
specific reasons why. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">I have long said that the black body politic is comatose:
unable to sustain itself after the massive infusion of <span class="correction" id="">COINTELPRO-type</span>
"clean Negroes" who don't truly provide representation for a body of
people in need. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">Unfortunately, now, the entire American body politic is
in dire straits, too. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">I have also said that the prescription for the black body
politic is radical surgery. So, too, now, I believe, is the case with the
American body politic.</div>
