Cynthia McKinney on the Subject of 2008: "We Will Make Revolution!"

by Robert B. Livingston (gruaudemais [at] yahoo.com)
On June 9, 2007, former member of the U.S. House of Representatives Cynthia McKinney declared in a speech in New York City: "I really want to do something in 2008."

Having successfully retired campaign debts that lingered from her 2006 Congressional run, Cynthia suggested she is open to the widely expressed idea among Greens and others that she run as a candidate for the United States Presidency.

In a self-revelatory speech that lasted a little over 30 minutes, Cynthia McKinney described her struggles in her rise to political prominence and her desire to help bring about needed structural change in the United States of America.

That speech is now available to view on the internet (see the links below).

Said McKinney at the close of her speech:

"If I do something... in 2008 (and I really want to do something in 2008) it will be the fullest expression that I know of Revolutionary Love. Because we will make Revolution... and it will only be about Love."

Sir,

In your article published on Friday Jun 15th, 2007

http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/06/15/18427767.php
you said that former Congresswoman Cynthia
McKinney's campaign debts had been successfully
retired. I verified your statement against her
campaign website http://www.cynthiaforcongress.com/

As of today June 18, 2007, the campaign debts have
not been successfully retired as mentioned in your
article. Like everyone else, I rely on Bay Area
Indymedia to publish accurate information and it also
with the quality of content of what you publish that
we measure you by. An erratum is in order, that is why
I thank you in advance for acknowledging the
erroneously information that you published in your
article.
