I Could Not Have Said It Better Myself

...and hence I will not try. On OpEdNews.com, Amee (alt. spelling on byline of Amy) Chew made a post titled "Support Obama, and Vote McKinney? Not a contradiction" which discussed voting for the Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney. Below are some excerpts of the post, although to read the entire article follow this link.

"...each vote for them [McKinney/Clemente] contributes towards building unprecedented ballot access, federal funds, and an inroad to the national debates, for the Green Party."

"In the words of McKinney herself: 'We are in this to build a movement. We are willing to struggle for as long as it takes to have our values prevail in public policy.'"

"It's time for us to say, these brave women – and those who follow in their footsteps – represent the future that we want for politics in this country."

"...we too must set our sights on strategies of significant long-term change."

"VOTE TRUTH THIS YEAR, AND WORK FOR IT NEXT."
