Since we hear so much 2nd hand info about McKinney as a potential
candidate I thought it important to post her most recent speech here
for you to see/hear first hand. I excerpted some quotes below.

Cynthia McKinney
St. Mary's Church, Harlem (Manhattan/NYC).
June 9, 2007

Program title "Revolutionary Love"
Running time 37:42
Event to retire her Congressional campaign debt also featured Lynne
Stewart and MC'd by Pacifica's Robert Knight.
Talks about her political history and 2008.

"... Yes the event is about helping me retire my debt. That's about
2006. But I know many of you are here because you want to know about
2008."

"... I really do 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."

Robert Knight of Pacifica Radio asks, "I can't hardly wait for 2008,
Ms McKinney, in 2008, what color is your parachute?
McKinney responds from the audience, "it's not red and it's not blue"

"... I can tell you that we're well on our way, with the well wishes
that I've received from all of you, for what we have in store for
2008"

also overheard - a former Green statewide candidate complemented
McKinney on her dress. McKinney responded that she's trying to get
everything green (note her green dress in the speech).

A few of us talked to her briefly after the event in NY. She asked
about ballot access and petitioning in NY. She showed some concern
about a possible independent Mike Bloomberg (Republican Mayor NYC)
run for president.
