Green Party Ticket

Maybe I will mark my ballot for her; after all, she is sure to be on it.

Hey, I'd be voting for a black, a woman, and the
most courageous member of Congress.

"Ex-representative, hip-hop artist to be on Green ticket

The Green Party has chosen Cynthia McKinney, a former Democratic representative, as its presidential candidate. McKinney, 53, will be joined on the ticket by vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop artist and activist.

McKinney received 313 out of 532 votes cast at the party's nominating convention in Chicago Saturday, party spokesman Scott McLarty said. In 2004, the Green Party drew 119,859 votes, or 0.1 percent of the total, finishing in sixth place behind the two major parties and three other third-party tickets.

The party's best performance came in 2000 when Ralph Nader headed the ticket, and won 2.8 million votes, or 2.7 percent. McKinney served six terms in Congress and lost her 2006 bid for reelection. She was the first black woman to represent Georgia in the House of Representatives (Reuters)."

Yeah, she had her seat stolen from her, won it back, then had it stolen again after the Zionist lobby poured tons of $$$ into her opponents coffers.

When you get to close to the truth in Congress, it is out you go!
