Who is Cynthia McKinney?

In the 2008 U.S. presidential race I worked for Ron Paul's campaign. I was the administrator and moderator of his official presidential campaign MySpace page and had devoted thousands of hours of my personal time in that capacity from 2007 to 2008, and even afterward to help advance Ron Paul's Freedom Principals. When Ron Paul had formally dropped out of the race, he encouraged his supporters to take a hard look at the remaining third party candidates to support. I did and chose to endorse Cynthia McKinney. I came out as the "Anti-Neocon Republican for Cynthia McKinney" and a video piece I had prepared as my official endorsement ended up being featured on the front page of McKinney's official website. Cynthia McKinney was the nominee for the Green Party. Although we have never met and she probably could not even recall who I am, I am proud to call her a friend of mine, for I know she is a true friend of the people and not any narrow special interest at our expense.

Here ia a piece Al Jazeera released that provides a nice glimpse of one of my favorite people, citizens of the world and a solid former U.S. Congresswomen with an actual spine: Cynthia McKinney. Peace, Greg Chamberlain
