Cynthia McKinney: We know that emanating from Washington DC is a plan
to destablize the world, to take and steal the worlds resources and to neutralize our
power to stop them here at home.
I left the Democratic party because the Democratic party left me.
For the twelve years that I stood in Washington DC in the United States Congress, I
stood for dignity for our workers, freedom for our people, security for our seniors,
education for our children, opportunity for our community and peace in the rest of the
world.
But there was no room inside the Democratic party, nor the Republican party, nor the
halls of power for people who want truth and peace and justice.
And thank goodness, 20 years ago some people had the wisdom to create a new political
party where people who share out values can call home, and that is the Green Party. We
need substantive political change.
It was Frederick Douglas who said that power concedes nothing without a demand and we
need to organize ourselves to put that demand forward. We have to search out the truth,
search out justice, to stand for peace, think analytically, think critically, and vote
independently. Thank you very much.
