Run, Cynthia, Run! Getting Cynthia McKinney on the CA Green Party Ballot for 2008

by Reader
Please come to an event or donate to help offset the $5000 ballot filing fee. We must offer the public one real choice for 2008 president in CA who doesn't support war, the PATRIOT Act, secret wiretapping, etc. The Dems allow the war to go on. This is the way to give a voice to those who want to say "no".

Putting Cynthia on the Green Party 2008 Ballot

Greetings,

The RunCynthiaRun.com website was created in response to the groundswell of enthusiasm for former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to run for nomination as the Green Party 2008 Candidate for President, to take place in Chicago at our Annual National Convention July 2008.

After seeing many encouraging signs that she was interested in running, we California Greens were disappointed to hear that she intended to withdraw her name from the Green Party of California (GPCA) primary ballot, scheduled for February 2008.

Many Greens believe that our California Primary should provide a space for a successful, independent, and progressive woman of color, a charming and green-minded politician who believes in and practices the 10 Key Values and four pillars, named Cynthia McKinney!

Our hope that by organizing projects here in California, we Greens will motivate her to return to our California Ballot as a Green candidate in the upcoming California Presidential Primary.

We Greens see her participation in the Primary as a Win/Win situation: the best for Cynthia, the best for the Green Party, and the best for the people of our country and our planet!

Please look over the website and join in our effort, by registering as an endorser, a supporter, a volunteer, or a contributor, and by attendingCynthia McKinney’s upcoming visit to the Bay Area 2007.
